    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.

what to do?

Don't forget to post it up when you are finished. Nothing wrong with DynoJet I have the kit in a couple sets and they work. With pods and free flow exhaust I can almost guarantee you will not run well without jetting. Z1 for individual jets and or parts, or the local Suzuki shop.

Finally took bike out for it's first ride after a whole bunch of work over the months. Guess what? It don't run very well with stock set up on carbs with pods and free flow exhaust! LOL I did notice it runs real good if I pull the choke all the way up.... :)

So now wait till Monday and get a hold of Z1 and order some jets. There seems to be a problem with online ordering right now on their website.

Also, the top end seems to be a bit "rattley"...don't recall it making that kind of rattle noise before. I just resealed top end. Gonna have to recheck valve clearances again soon anyway

This is my 1980 850L. The paint is different, but the bike is the same. It took me a while to get it sorted with the help of the forum here.

Okay...think I will use the spring mounts on it rather than the hard mounts I have on it. It was easier at the time to do solid mounts.
 
Glad to see you got it up and running, always a good felling. I can't remember , due to the head case jacking the thread, what you were doing with the carbs, Dyno kit or single jetting changes? Nice looking luggage, what are they? and I'm not sure what you took for that crazy rant on EMGO pods but they really are the garbage, if you can afford APES they last forever and will work much better, but all that said use what you have, I'm always a waste not want not type of person.

When I took it out today it ran poorly ( duh ) and someone here had mentioned a 122.5 jet. Dyno jets are like in the 155 or so range. In order for it to run right I had to hold the choke all the way on. Well not run right, but at least respond decently so I could make it to gas station 1 mile away.

I also got on it hard to see how it pulls before I put right handed anchor on it..it pulled really well! But now I have a annoying rattle sound at idle, not bad, but there. I will check tensioner and see if that helps. Then if that doesn't do it I will check valves and cams to make sure all is well.

I like the way the APES look, and I have read more than once on here to get the dyno jet kit. I will sleep on it tonight. I did write the phone numbers for both on a piece of paper and will take it to work with me though....

The bags are top loading pelican cases, ( 1430 ) they should do the trick!

You could always post here and see if someone has a used Dyno they want to sell. Worth a try anyways.
