    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Carb needle seats or something?!?!

I have an 82 GS650L and have recently put new uni pods on it. i took it to my local bike shop to have the carbs rebuilt, jetted, tuned, and sync. I got the bike back and it runs great but wants to bog down around 5500 rpm when you give it full throttle. I have read other posts and have seen mentioned moving a clip down on the needle? or even putting a washer under the needle? If someone could tell me how to do this or better yet a picture i would greatly appriciate it. I'm only 15 and still learning!
 
Welcome back Gous.

Talk to the garage? If they were jetting and tuning the carbs they should have road tested it.

I totally agree with Macmatic. You paid them to get the carbs set up right, it's their responsibility to do so, or return your money.
 
i told him i only had 150 to spend and he did 3 hours of labor at 50 bucks an hour plus parts and onlt charged me 147. he said he could get it right if he spent more time on it but he said he had no idea how long it would take. He told me the easiest way to get the bike to run right would be to either put the stock air box back on or adjust the needles. He said there should be a clip or something that i can move to another notch or put a small washer under the needle. I just need to know how to do this. I know someone on here knows how because they talk about doing it to their bikes. If somone could give me a picture of it that would be the biggest help.

thanks!
