    GS850 Carb Jet recommendations

    I have a 1980 GS850 that i am running pods on. i also took the muffler off the 4 into 1 exhaust, because it sounds sweat. Does anyone have recommendations for jets.

    Large. Very LARGE.

    Sounds like a perfect time for a DynoJet Stage 3 kit.


    Stock mains are 115. For pods and an uncorked pipe, maybe something in the 130-140 range.

    You will also want to shim the needles, if you can't find a DJ kit.

      Find a DJ kit. They're out there. Shimming stock needles for this set up is an exercise in futility.

        I agree with others.
        Check www.denniskirk.com for the kit.

          Greetings and Salutations!!

          Hi Mr. jtobin57,

          After intake and exhaust mods, carb jetting is an exercise in black voodoo magic. A Dynojet kit makes it much easier, but there is still some trial and error. Let me dump a TON if information on you and share some GS lovin'.

          I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

          If there's anything you'd like to know about the Suzuki GS model bikes, and most others actually, you've come to the right place. There's a lot of knowledge and experience here in the community. Come on in and let me say "HOoooowwwDY!"....

          Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome". Please take notice of the "Top 10 Common Issues", "Top 15 Tips For GS Happiness", the Carb Rebuild Series, and the Stator Papers. All of these tasks must be addressed in order to have a safe, reliable machine. Now let me roll out the welcome mat for you...



          Please click here for your mega-welcome, chock full of tips, suggestions, links to vendors, and other information. Then feel free to visit my little BikeCliff website where I've been collecting the wisdom of this generous community. Don't forget, we like pictures! Not you, your bike!

          Thanks for joining us. Keep us informed.

          Thank you for your indulgence,

          BassCliff
