    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.

I pulled apart my carbs last night while waiting for my new throttle cable. Bike is a '83 1100e. They are Mikuni BST36's that I bought and installed several years ago from eBay. After some serious searching I have determined that the main jets are Keihin or equivilant. They are size 148 and are 8mm in length. I could not find a match in size or length in any Mikuni chart. I searched Ronayers.com and jetsrus.com which brings me to the question(s). These jets are 1mm shorter the the Mikuni (9mm) and are considerably larger (at least in number) than what was stock (112.5?) in their original GSXR configuration. Will the length affect operation? and... are the numbers denoting actual jet size the same in Mikuni and Keihin?
I should mention that the bike runs strong to redline with absolutely no hesitation. I plan to do a full throttle shut down check on the plugs later today. I have a road picked out
