    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...

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.

Pilot jet types: VM22/210 or BS30/96???

I'm finding scant information on pilot jet types and what I'm finding is conflicting...

So, once and for all, which type of pilot jets do I need for my stock Mikuni CV carbs on my 1985 GS700E?

VM22/210 or BS30/96? It seems there is a difference in the location/number of bleed holes between the two types?

I know the main jets are "large round slotted" type, but I've found nothing concrete about the pilots.

Thanks!
 
Since these are Mikuni BS carbs, I think it must be the BS30/96...
 
Thanks!

After extensive searching, I think this may be the first time this has ever been documented on the GSR...

tucker rocky has them, and probably all motorcycle dealers order from them.
I just got a set of +1 mains #115, tucker also carries rubber intake flanges like used on 8 valve engines.
 
Looks like Z1 has both, they just don't have the BS pilots listed on the site yet.
