Thanks guys. I ended up with my bike info under location and not as a sig. I think I have it fixed.
OK, you made it half way. The sig is good, so now you can remove the bike info from your location.
I must say, though, that this forum has almost 5,000 members, just over 1900 of them are labeled "active", and yours is the only one where I have seen the bike info in the location.
I can always jet up as i go.
True,
if the bike survives. Running lean means running HOT. If you run too lean for too long, you can melt pistons.
How do I tell if I am rich or lean? Do I just have to do plug chops, or can I tell by hanging idle or other tells?
Plug chops are the quickest and easiest. A hanging idle is only an indication that the pilot circuit is too lean. Depending on
why it's too lean, it might not affect the other circuits, but it also
might. For example: if your mixture adjustment is off, it will only affect the pilot circuit. However, if you have leakes in the intake boots, it will affect ALL the circuits, because the leaks are there to lean out the mixture ALL the time.
The procedure for doing plug chops is well-documented, and is available on BassCliff's site. If you don't have that site bookmarked, you should. You will need to do three runs to check the pilot circuit (idle and low-speed), the needle circuit (mid-range) and the mains (full throttle).
Where would the adjustment screws be on the bs34?
The "idle mixture adjustment screws" are just that: IDLE MIXTURE adjustment screws, and they are on the top of the carb outlet. You already know how to change the mains. To adjust the needles, you will need to remove the diaphragm/slide assembly, take it apart, change the thickness of the spacer on top of the clip at the top of the needle. Again, that is well-documented on BassCliff's site.
This picture is on an 850, but the screw location is the same on your bike.
The setup with the enrichers is much different than what I had on my xs11.
Do you mean the activation method or how it works?
Activation method varies, even among different GS models and years, so that's no biggie. How it works is pretty universal, though. Apply some enrichment ("choke"), do NOT touch the throttle, pull the clutch, press the starter button. Adjust cold idle speed with the enrichment mechanism.
