    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Okay, I did a search... For about 3 hours , on the clock. Some good tips, but not specific to my question.


I have my carbs off My gs1000 ..for a good cleaning , replacing o rings and boots and such.

When I put them back on, I will be putting on K&N Pods.

Next Spring, (or maybe sooner) I will be putting on a Vance & Hines 4-into-1 exhaust.

I've read that you MUST re jet If using Pods and aftermarket (Less restrictive) exhaust.
  • Should I Just Do the Jets now?
  • Is there any harm In having a Jet kit With factory airbox/exhaust?(if I kept all else stock)
  • Any suggestions on which jets, where to buy?
Also, I am Not 100% clear on which carbs I have.I thought they were BS34SS?
But I have a 1980 GS1000GLT so the title says.
It is shaft drive.
I think the manual is saying VM26SS for the L series..does that include the GLT?The more I read the more confused I get. ;)

Thanks for any help.

In my experience your bike will not run correctly with pods and not being rejetted. You CAN rejet now and run pods on a stock exhaust no problem, I have done it for years. You can also run a stock box and jet kit with good results.

Get a Dynojet kit and follow the instructions for Pods and stock pipe.
Change the jetting when you change the pipe.
The kit includes all the jets to do this.
