    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hey all, im new to tuning the GS's so heres the question>
I have '80 GS850G that I put a Jardine exhaust and K&N filter on..The stock main jets are #115 and the kit I bought has #100, 110, 120 and 140. I put in the #120's and it still feels a little thin, the plugs are fine color wise, it idles fine once warmed and responds alright. I'm thinking the #140's would be to fat for the stocker only if I had say 10.5:1 slugs or a ported head. I'm thinking it might need #125-#130's....??
Anyone with GS tuning knowledge I would be thankful for any tips, thanx.
 
I'd try 125 mains.
Not sure what throttle position(s) you got the plug reads at, but you have to test the main at 3/4 to full throttle, full being the better test.
Test at 1/3 throttle to see what the jet needle circuit is doing. I would think the jet needle is lean.
A 1/2 additional turn out on the mixture screws might help.
