    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.

Linking the intake manifold boots.....

I think I've seen something on this in the past. What is that deal where you link up the cylinders with little tubes using the access ports in the intake manifold boots. Something about it smoothing out low rpm performance. And on that note, what are those little ports for anyway? Thanks.
 
You connect vacuum gauges to those ports to make adjustements so all cylinders are pulling the same vacuum.

It is recommended to check valve clearances BEFORE doing a carb sync.

The idea of linking all the vacuum ports up is to mimic the effects of the Yamaha YICS system.
Some say it works, others say it doesn't. Me, I'm in no position to try it, as I no longer have the factory carbs on either of the GSs.
What I do have is a YICS-equipped Yamaha, and it seems to work on that, but Yamaha themselves produced engines with it and without it, so meh.
 
I remember back in the day my KZ900 had the ports all connected together with vacuum hose and "t"s. Dealer said it made carb sync more tolerant as all the vacuum would be the same. Don't know if it helped or not, but I never synced the carbs and it always ran great.
 
I run my GS1000 with the ports permanently linked, 1+4 and 2+3. Definately smoothes out idle but dont think it helps out any other way.
Also makes synching a much quicker job as the adaptors are permanently attached.
