    whats the difference? 1979/1980

    well my jet kit just arrived but it ses on the box that it is for a 1978-79 gs 1000, the thing is my bike is a 1980 gs 1000e , my question is were the carbs the same for those years or do i have to send this back , i don't mind waiting because i was going to wait to install it anyways but it might be kind of a bummer if anyone can say for sure please let me know

    thanks

    Does it have vm carbs, or cv carbs?
    [Edit] Do they look like these?

      Those are CV carbs and if you have those you will have to send the kits back.

        The '80 1000 uses CV carbs and you can't use the jet kit for the VM equipped '79 1000.
        Stage 3 is for use with the combination of a quality aftermarket free flow pipe AND K&N pod filters.
        And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
        Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

            Look at 8trackminds link. Do your carbs look like those? The '80 uses CV carbs. Do you have a round cap on the top of the carbs?

                That's not bad. They're the correct carbs for your bike.
                You'll need the correct jet kit though.

                  In that case you got the wrong kit, you will need to send it back and have it exchanged for the proper one. But as you say, no biggie since time is not a concern anyways.

                  Good of you to ask though, you would not have been happy had you found this out the hard way once the carbs were apart and ready for the new parts...I know I don't like being interrupted in the middle of a job where some "attention to detail" is required.

                    100% correct. And this is proof that the only stupid question is the one you do not ask!
