    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.

Idle Problem

recently I have noticed my GS1000S failing at idle even after it is warmed up...

it runs sweet through all rev ranges....

accelerates clean....

starts first up....


just doesnt seem to want to sit & idle for more than about 60 seconds before the idle drops and it cuts out ??? - currently set to 1k rpm

I noticed I can adjust idle settings and maybe increasing idle may help.... as per http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=93258&highlight=idle (as it is raining today I can't get out to test this fully)

I noticed in the above thread idle probs could be air intake....

since this is a recent problem it sounds likely this could also be the fault....

where am I likely to find air intake probs ????

I am sure the carb boots are getting fairly worn... but dont notice any splitting yet...

I know I have an exhaust leak as I can feel the warm air buffeting on my left knee on acceleration.... and it makes the coolest lil back fires gearing back down lol \\:D/ - but im guessing exhaust leaks wont effect idle too much???

I run pods and have noticed they are pretty grubby - is there anyway to clean these effectively to avoid buying new ones and can I expect that to help idle issues???

any clues would be kool

cheers

What kind of pods to you have? Dirty air filters will greatly affect idle. Also check your battery and connections, this will also affect idle. Get new exhaust rings or gaskets, you need the back pressure. Spray wd40 around the intake boots while running and see if your idle dives.

Mikuni carbs with cone shaped filters - similar to these:arrow:

they look pretty dirty - any clues on how to clean them without buggering them totally ???
 
Buy some K&N filter cleaner and oil. Follow the instructions on the can. Piece of cake and takes 10 minutes. Most of the time is waiting for them to dry.
