    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.

gs850/1000 airbox boots question

Hi - I have an '80 850gl, with carbs from an '80 gs1000. I have an airbox but only two of the carb boots.

If I'm ordering new airbox boots from bikebandit, is there a difference between the boots for an 850 L and a 1000 L? Are the 1000's larger end diameter but otherwise the same, or completely the same, or completely different airbox/boots setup vs the 850's?
 
The 1980 GS850 has 32mm BS/CV Mikuni carbs, but I think the 1000’s have 34mm carbs in which case they won’t fit on your bike. Hopefully someone will chime in here and confirm.
 
Nessism is correct. Per my owners manuals for the 81 1000 it has the 34mm and for the 82 850 has the 32mm. I would not think they put different CV sizes on different years but I do not know that for sure.
 
They do use 32 & 34 mm carbs but the boots are the same !!!!!
