No Dynojet jets for GS550?

[Guest]

Hey there, my son and I are rebuilding the carbs on our '80 GS550E. Because we plan to run pods we figured now would be a good time to rejet. I contacted Dynojet about which kit to get and they replied by saying they don't have jets for this bike. That's kinda frustrating as they have em for essentially every other GS.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what to do? My son and I really wanna run pods but we also want to do it right and help the motor run as good as possible using them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Alex.

Your bike has CV carbs, right?
The best running bike would be with the airbox, pods may gain a little top end and look cool, but are frustrating to get setup right.
That being said, they do offer a kit for the '82 550 katana which IIRC is mostly (if not exactly) the same engine, part# 3314

6 Sigma and a couple of other dodgy outfits make kits for that bike, but you would probably be better off putting your own together with the help of a place like:

The '82 550M kit should be the same. Both use BS32 carbs, and the engine is same.

Hey, thanks for the replies. Sorry, was out of the country for a few weeks. Yeah, I know airbox is the way to get it to run 'the best' but we really want a clean looking cafe racer and to do that the air box has to go, in our minds. I'm aware it may take some tweaking to get it to run well but we're up to the challenge. Knowing there are friendly and reliable resources on here helps a bunch! Gonna order a kit for the '82 550m and see how that works. Thanks again everyone!
