    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.

Slight bog

Quick question. On my 83 GS450 with stock pipes and pods I have rejetted. Started at 115, moved to 120 seemed lean, moved up to 122.5.

When I start the bike it takes a min or so before i can twist the throttle quickly and not have it bog or die. If i sloooowly twist the throttle it seems to catch up and is ok. After the initial warm up I can crank the throttle and it rarely if ever wants to bo or die out.

Am I rich? lean? should I try to adjust the air/fuel mix at the screws? if so which way and how much?

The good news is with the new boots and o-rings my floating idle is gone and it has a fairly quick return back to idle. It doesn't seem to be catching anywhere. I haven't had the opportunity to truely put the bike under a load and do plug chops etc yet. I am still waiting on my seat.

Any help is appreciated.
 
Sounds like you need some choke ;)

It will typically take a minute or two on choke before she's up to temperature enough to idle properly.

Experience tells me another 5 minutes of riding before she's warmed up enough to accurately set idle and sync. carbs etc.

Don't make any adjustments to mixture screws or idle until she's nice and warm, otherwise you will be way off.
