I was having so much trouble getting my GS1100G to run correctly, I pulled and recleaned the carbs twice with no improvement. Eric suggested I was running too lean and needed to up my main jets from 120 to 127.5. He also suggested that I replace the plastic block on the slide needle with four 3mm washers and replace the intake o-rings. Eric sent me the jets, washers and new o-rings. I did as he suggested and now my bike runs like a banshee! Much more power, better acceleration, no stutter off idle and revs to red line like a rocket. Thanks Eric for your help.

Chuck I thought you were the kind to follow the rules at all costs. He broke them and did it more than once. I think we all just need to accept it and move onCowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Nothing wrong with thanking someone who helped you, and he is a helpful person. Chuck just has a chronic muffin deficiency."Men will never be free until Mark learns to do The Twist."

Eric was banned from the forum for being a jerk. I'm glad he was able to help you and all but why did you post this?Originally posted by retcol View PostEd

Hey fellows, I didn't know any of this stuff, how could I? I just joined the forum. The simple fact is I like to recognize and thank folks who go out of their way to help me and Eric did help me. Thats it.Comment

I agree, Allie. I never posted my opinion, nor do I think it serves any useful purpose to bring up old news once again.Originally posted by Allie View Post...Aaaaand it's official, the drama has landed.

I would like a muffin though.
