Diy fuel bowl gaskets. (From felpro sheet)

[Guest]

So this is my first post and my first gs650. I really like the bike so I tore down the carburetors spot cleaned every little orifice, the bike came with pods in a slightly cut off exhaust so I went with 125 Jets replacing the 105 that were in there, the bike seems pretty stock on the other than brakes and normal wear and tear maintenance parts

What do you think of my method ?

Where do you get your brake pads from?

What method dod you use to clean the carbs?
Is this a chain or shaft drive bike? What make of pods? Using pods would require bigger mains and likely a dynojet kit to get decent driveability in mid range.

I use EBC pads off ebay. FA36. FA65 work fine for a mellow old guy.

As to gaskets, make sure you get all the required punch outs. Some non oem versions fail in this.

The OEM gasket thickness falls right between two thicknesses that Felpro sells. I bought both thicknesses but didn't like either for that application.

It is a shaftie and unknown on pod Manufacturer but the bike runs a hell of a lot better now that the 125s are in. Starts nearly immediately even when cold (as long as the choke is shut).

I wish I could compare to another bike because it runs better now but I can not say if it is up to par yet because I do not know where that stands with the normal on this bike.

On cleaning the carbs I took them all apart and used a 0000 steel wool and cleaned the insides. I didn't not dip them but I did disassemble them and replaced all between Orings and used about 3 cans of carb/brake clean on all 4 carbs.
