    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.

ok, i have a gs 750 and carbs are being rebuilt this week, and thinking of pod air filters... i did the search feature, and i know ill have to rejet the carbs for pods. my questions are pros/cons for pods? is there a base needle setting for pods till i can fine tune her? and who is a good source/brand for pods?
 
Ape

Ape

I put APEs on my 1100EZ. They look great, just like K&Ns, but at half the cost.

BTW - I haven't been able to rejet the carbs yet, so I just taped over about 7/8 of the pod, and she runs great. I'm excited to find out what it'll be like when I get it properly jetted with the pods wide open.
 
What year 750? :-k

Makes a BIG difference what we need to recommend.

Pros/cons?
Pros:
Some people think they look GREAT.
The do allow more air flow for more power.

Cons:
They will end up costing you a BUNCH of money. The cheap ones (EMGO, etc.) are disposables. When they get dirty, throw them out and get new ones. Better ones (APE, K&N, etc.) cost more to purchase, but can be cleaned and re-used.
They will require re-jetting, which might be a few bucks for some new jets or over $100 for a good jet kit with new needles.
They are rather susceptible to rain and other weather conditions.
They eliminate the rear support for the carbs.
They are NOISY.

Base setting for needles (and other jetting)?
Surely you have seen some of the many suggestions to do a quick search. It all depends on which pods you get and what exhaust system you are using, but you will generally add 2-6 sizes for a pipe and 4-8 sizes for pods. Needles will need to be lifted, how much will depend on what you have. The needles are not the right shape, though, which is what makes kits like DynoJets worth the money.
