    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.

Gs400x flooding right plug problem

I own a gs400x. The right side has started misfiring. The points appear in order, however I believe the may need time adjustment. The bike has the most trouble at idle and lower speeds. Often I can keep it running as long as the bike is over 5k rpm. Also, the plug on the right side consistently has unburned gas left on it when I check it. One thing I do know is that side needs new shims.
 
Sounds like you know that maintenance is calling!
Does this bike have a vacuum style petcock? If so what carb has the vacuum connection?

per petcock.... i was thinking same thing,given the plug is wet. Be sure that gas is not getting down the petcock vacuum line into the engine. Look for a higher than normal oil level and Smell the dipstick.
But this bike has two sets of points doesn't it? so that's a possible.
Tune up time! If points are replaced, Be sure to replace points condensor and new spark plugs are a good idea at the same time.
