    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.

Exhaust flow questions

I have a 79 GS850GN with rebuilt stock vm28 carbs, stock exhaust, revamped airbox, new air filter. New valve job, and valves are within specs. New dyna s ignition, wires and plugs.

I bench synched the carbs and set all pilot air and pilot fuel to factory/or whatever the carb rebuild series said. I will vacumm synch the carbs after finishing this posting.

Bike starts fine and holds idle at 1000 rpms pretty well.

However, when bike is warming up there is mild pop sound occasionally coming from the 3-4 cylinder exhaust.

Also, when placing my hand up to the exhuast pipes the 3-4 pipe is hotter and stronger than the 1-2 pipe.

My question is what could be causing this?

I may just end up answering my own question after I synch the carbs, however I wanted to ask now, in case I have trouble synching the carbs with manometer.

Any comments are always appreciated

Sync the carbs before worrying about issues like this.
 
Sounds like you are lean on 3 and/or 4. The "factory settings" are just a guideline to get you going, if you are just popping a little occasionally on warmup, you are probably pretty close. Pull your plugs and check the mix, you may need to richen it up a hair.

The stock carbs for the '79 850's are VM26SS. If you have 28's fitted and are adjusting the pilot air and pilot fuel screws to the recommendations on the carb rebuild series, they will be slightly lean.
What did you do when you "revamped the airbox?"

Do your vacuum synch and re-assess. It's straight forward with VM carbs.
