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.

    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.

unexplainable lean condition GS1000G

Well I think I finally got it, the final settings are as follows,
34mm cv carbs
Mains- 127.5 stock is 115
air jet- 140 stock is 160
pilot jet- 40 stock is 40
Needle jet X-8 stock is x-6
needle-5d58 set as raised .030 ths Stock is 5D58
this has been done on a stock GS1000G to make it run properly , with a K&N filter with air box all resealed, stock exhaust with a few extra holes [the PO had drilled,sounds like *&%^]. I attribute the jetting changes to the filter, the holes and ethanol gas. But the bike now seams to run good.
Ahh the sweet sound of success
 
I had a 1000G with K&N filter & V&H 4:1.

From memory I needed to run 122.5 mains, stock (or one size up pilots), didn't matter, just affected the adjustment screw. Stock needles lifted about 1.5 notches (I had Canadian needles in it... identical taper but they have the adjustment notches).

Were your 34mm standard 1000G carbs? I'm not sure why your 32mm wouldn't fit anymore, the outside sizes on the carbs are the same so the boots etc would be the same size for either set.

:)
 
The 32's didn't fit in the boots very tightly, like the 34's pop in and the 32's fell in, so I knew that I would have to really tighten down my new boots and was not wanting to put un needed stress upon them , also the bike ran good with the 32's but didn't run to it's 1000cc potential as it should. It now runs like a 1000 should I am very pleased with the outcome, alot of pulling hair and playing the jetting game, I am how ever very happy it was on this bike that I had the hard time , because on this bike I can pull the carbs with the airbox still attached, in about 5minutes so to pull and install them it only takes about 20 minutes turnaround time to make changes.:D:D:D:D
 
Yes, the airboxes on the 1000G are great. :) Still confused about the jetting you ended up with though & the fact that those 32's were any different in size is a mystery as well! :)

Seems all's well that ends well though :D
