    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.

Replacement needlejets for gs750t

I wanted to get 4 new needle jets for my GS 750T. I tried bikebandit.com, and I think the part number is 715171-001, but it looks like they are discontinued. Are there other needle jets that are suitable for this bike?

Really glad this site is around - it's an invaluable resource!

Cheers!
 
Are the ones that you have destroyed in some fashion? If not, clean them up and put them back in. Better than aftermarket IMHO.

Welcome, by the way. :)
 
Ebay

Ebay

I'd suggest Ebay. A needle jet for our bikes is one of the very few parts I've ever wanted to buy new that wasn't available. I bought a whole extra set of carbs when I found out needle jets weren't available. As far as I know, that's about the only carb part not still available...but it's a 'biggie'.
 
When searching for them in other places, is that part number I gave what I should be looking for? Or are there other compatible ones that would work as well?

I don't think my current ones are destroyed. I already went thru and cleaned them once, but need to do a better job this 2nd time. I thought it would be good to have some backups in case I toasted one of them ;)

Cheers!
 
Not much to go wrong with the jet itself (unless you over tighten them and strip the slot the next time you try to remove them). A good soak in carb cleaner or Brasso will do the trick. Just make sure that you don't jam a wire or other object through them, changing the orifice size.
 
Right!

Right!

As Dave says, you can usually salvage the gig. If you strip them getting them out (I did that once), they can often be re-threaded quite simply. It sounds as though you already have them out so just clean them up and you should be good to go!! Hope so!!:-D
