    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Its ALIVE !!!

Got my buddy's bike it up and running. 81 GS750E

http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=161190

One of the valves is a little "ticky".

The forks need to be serviced (one of them leaks oil, I don't know how so off to the Suzuki shop).

The air box is being replaced, and my friend got the wrong pods. I know that means that I am going to need to get larger jets. I rebuilt the carbs and used the jets that came with the kits (fully expecting to have to take them out a few times to dial them in). For the test run I went with no air filters at all. I turned the one fuel screw out and in and noticed very little change, if any, in RPM. I was able to get a significant rise in RPM from restricting the air intake of the carbs with my hands.

I am not sure which pilot jets to get for these carbs. They are vacume secondary carbs and all I have ever rebuilt are the manual Mikunis (sorry I do not know the names yet) With one those, stock to pods I would switch out the 15 for a 17.5 pilot jet.

What is the equivalent for these carbs?
 
Congrats.

AFA the forks, go to Basscliff's site and read "Fork Seal Replacement". Don't waste your money at the shop, DIY.
