    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 settings gs650?

Well I just did the carb cleaning that was mentioned on this site, and everything works fine it seems, except for idling.? I pull the choke out and bike starts right up, then I let it warm up and let the choke out and the bike dies right away I'm not sure of the adjustment on the Idler screw ? Should the butterfly valves be opened a bit in the carb for the bike to idle or closed completely? I have it set where the valves are just about open but not quite ! So if anyone has any info would be cool! thanks. !!
 
I think that the idle level screw should be about 2 turns out. also fiddle with the idle adjuster knob under the carbs (at least for my 850).
hope this helps.

Ok, Ill give it a go and see !! =) just wasnt sure how much to turn it but guess its a trial and error thing, my clymer manual doesnt mention anything on this point ?
 
If all it needs is an idle adjustment, just turn it up enough to keep it running, then adjust the idle to about 1,100 rpm's.
 
sounds good, thanks !! Im gonna give it a shot today!! =)
