    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...

    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.

Suzuki gs1000 carb idle

Hi i recently bought a gs1000e.
It has some idle issues.
When bike is warmed up with choke off, after you give the bike a quick rev the engine goes to a low idle as if its about to cut out then it will slowly pick up revs again but idles roughly from between 1100 to 1500 revs.
Ive ultrasonicly cleaned the carbs and reset the float heights.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
 
A fluctuating idle can be caused by an air leak.
Are they properly seated in the air box and manifold rubbers. Cracks in the rubbers.
Did you completely disassemble the carbs for the ultrasonic cleaning?

What year is your GS1000E?
 
Also, have you adjusted the valves and done all of the neglected maintenance?
Plus one on whether you have slide or CV carbs
