    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.

the saga continues - no power

I had a few earlier posts about this subject, tried some of the things that were suggested but still have the same problem. So here it is ,just purchased 1980 gs 1000g idles ok revs up to about 3000rpm's ok if you turn the throttle slowly if you try and turn it open fast it just bogs out . So I changed the oil put in fresh plugs and took the carbs into the local suzuki shop which they took apart and cleaned for 200 bucks(ouch!!) got the carbs back reassembled everything got it fired up and same problem and as the bike gets warmed up it seems to get worse I even get a litlle backfiring out of the pipes . What should I look at next , possible electrical maybe coils . I really want to get out riding so all help would be greatly appreciated.......thanks.....mark
 
sync those carbs... they maybe clean and shiny but way out of whack!!! a little turn here a little turn there makes the world of difference
 
Maybe it's running out of gas. Try riding around with the tap set to prime instead. A bike will idle all day with little gas but once you sit on it and try to ride away it'll stop. :(

yes I do , It has the stock airbox but there is a bit of gap between the rubber tubes and the airbox and the airbox has a k&n filter inside
