    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.

I have a 2004 GS500F. Engine runs fine in prime and doesn't die, when I leave it on ON, it dies everytime. I had the carbs completely went through and dipped. Jets cleaned etc. Took the petcock off my buddies 2009 GS500F, put mine on his. His never died and we road it for a while. I am not sure where to go next. It starts fine, runs fine but it will die if it is out of prime. Any suggestions?
 
It looks good but could there be something I can't see? Should I just replace it to see?
 
Okay I fixed it with the Vaccuum hoses. It now runs fine! But it sometimes will spike to 3k on the rpms and won't go down unless you put it into gear. I have the idle set to around 1400 when it's fully warm. Not sure why it's doing that. Sounds like air to fuel ratio is messed up or something?
 
do a search on air leaks.

the issue may be that your carbs have leaks around their intake manifold joints.
repairable with new o rings if these are fitted to your particular bike.
