1982 gs850 wont rev past 5.5k rpms when in gear

Also when i was researching the bike, it says the main jet size was #115, but when i took the carbs apart they were all #112.5, but i think i remember when i bought the bike off the guy he said he swapped carbs to see if that was the problem but it kept happening?

Yep, 82 GS850 should have had 115 mains. Sounds like you have carbs from a GS750. Good chance the needle and needle jets are wrong as well. Sounds like you're going to need to inventory everything in those carbs. If you find the need, I do have a complete set of parts(mains, needles, needle jet, Pilot jets for an 82 GS850. PM me if you do need them.

yeah thats definitely possible so i have a complete carb kit for an 850, you think i could convert it to an 850 set up or should i start looking for new carbs?
