    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.

GS550ES Popping on Decel

I have been having a ball with my GS550ES. I found a mid 80's Vance and Hines Pipe for this bike on ebay and bought it. After many hours of rust removal and polishing of the stainless steel can, I installed it. I then had to jet up to 107's and reset the idle jets and synched the rebuilt carbs. The bike starts immediately runs flawlessly developing good power and great throttle response. When I am backing off the throttle at 8-9k rpm I get some pretty good popping going on until the engine rpm's get down to between 5-6 k rpm. Perhpas this was a characteristic of this pipe setup as it is very short compared to the sport bike pipes of today. I don't want to touch it as it is running better than it ever has in the 6 years I have owned it and brought it back to running condition. What say you?????????

my 850g does the exact same thing but more like backing down from 5-7k for me...would be interested in knowing myself...
 
Try adjusting your mixture screws, then look at your plugs and jetting.

Hope this helps
 
If you get more than four turns out on the idle mixture screw and still experience popping go up one size on the pilot jets.
