    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.

I'm new to this, help!

Hi everybody,
Ok, I've just bought an '82 GSX750TZ which is standard as far as I know. It's just done 20k miles and since getting new spark plugs starts without a problem and tickover is smoothish. The old spark plugs were a little black and oily but I've seen worse. So here's the problem; The bike rides fine and the engine pulls well until the rev's get up high (there's no rev counter so I'm guessing it's high). Then it bogs down, starts vibrating and won't rev any higher, and I have to drop the throttle back to were it runs "clean". In top gear this lets me do about 80mph. There is also a little flat spot right at the bottom of the rev range and I have to rev a little hard to pull away smooth. The carbs have'nt been balanced since the previous owner put a 4 into 1 on so I'm hopping it's down to that, but any other suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks! :D
 
I had that same experience on my 79 750 when I removed the stock exhaust system and installed a 4 into 1 aftermarket V&H. My problem was that due to less exhaust restriction the mixture was too lean. Increasing main jet size by two increments solved the problem. My 750 came with stock size 102.5 main jets. Replacing them with 107.5 solved my problem.
BTW Its always a good idea to balance the carbs. You will be surprised in what a big difference it will make in how smooth and well it runs afterwards.
Gas milage increases also. :-)

hey; earlfor is right on about the carbs. The black plugs indicate a rich mixture so you need to check the main jets as they are what carries the load once past about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle also balancing them will definatley help. WHen all done put in new plugs and do a plug test to see the difference.
 
also if you have a flat spot off the bottom the pilot jet and needle need to be looked at also they might be gummy or restricted or need to be resized.
