NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -
Either term is proper. Anti-clockwise I find to be used more across the pond; but then it was Steve that said it!.
I think it was asked below - how are you handling the choke? The "choke" on these is actually a fuel enrichment circuit - it increases both fuel and air into the carbs. You should not touch the throttle when starting the bike. As the bike warms up on choke, the RPMs will naturally kick up, and you'll have to feather the choke down to calm them.
If you're going to go pods, Nessism is right - get quality pods (read: APE or K&N, which are almost identical but APEs are much cheaper - no Emgo filter) and get a Dynojet kit. Though I think he meant an 82 GS550M jet kit. In 83 the 550s went to an altogether different and unusual siamese twin carb setup (at least in the U.S. they did). So much the better to get it running right with the stock airbox first if you can.

I have tried to open the link on my computer but it wont allow me to. from what I remember, I used the choke then pushed it in when it ran and the rpms were still high. I then adjusted the screw to get the idle down right. Once that was set, I opened the throttle and it died. I thought it was because I adjusted the screw too low.Last edited by Guest; 01-22-2012, 08:59 PM.Comment
