    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.

Some rejetting questions

Got an 82 GS550, clean carbs, rejetting for dual style K&N pods. 92.5 stock on the mains, have 102.5 in it right now. Upper throttle is good, but bogs around 9000 rpm. Can this be fixed with the fuel mixture screws, or do I need to go up another size?

Also, I'm having idle issues. It likes to idle really high on full choke, like 4-5000 RPM. When I get it warmed up, the idle likes to slowly creep down when I set it around 1100 till it dies. I can turn up the idle screw to keep it idling, but then when I give it gas the idle sticks high and i have to turn it back down. Will going up a size in pilot jets fix this? If so, how much (40 stock)?

Im having issues with my bike holding high rpm's to. I can get it to rev up smoothly, but it won't hold higher rpm's, sounds like it runs out of gas. If I hold the throttle it bogs like it's out of gas, then revs back up and repeats the same process over. Petcock flows fine, but how would I go about checking how much vaccum the carbs are pulling on the vaccum line? Will jetting and proper carb settings fix this, or am I looking at clogged passages and carb float heights? I cleaned the carbs, but wouldn't hurt to check again.
