    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.

Ebay - will this work on my bike? (Jetting)

Go to the GSR home page and review the carb rebuild series. In most cases a good cleaning and replacement of the O-rings are all that is needed. In all but extreem cases you don't have to change any jetting for a stock bike. Please do a search on this subject since there is TONS of information on cleaning the carbs.

BTW, I'm just up the street from you in Torrance. If you get stuck or need help just let me know.
 
That link is only for ONE kit, you need 4. But you probably don't even need them at all. MOST of the time a good cleaning, new O rings, & maybe float bowl gaskets is all you need

Hey Nessism, Torrance is real close! Are you fairly experienced with bikes? I am most certainly not. I'm trying to identify what aspects of my bike are problems and what is just normal, so if you've got a chance and wouldn't mind cruising out to let me know what the bike needs, it'd be very much appreciated!

I'm afraid to dig into the carbs, just yet, as I couldn't synch them back up. I've only messed with a pair of GS500 two-jet carbs, and they weren't entirely easy for me. This time around, I'll buy the whole gasket set before I go digging in there and just replace everything.
 
By the way, sqDancerLynn, thanks for the link! Are the 850 and 1000 carbs identical?
