    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.

Easy carb removal?

I got them off, cleaned up and back on today. When you said left, that must be facing the bike? It's wide open to the kickstarter side.
I really appreciate all the help folks.

I just have to ask was it easier than the Maddie? I had owned a Madura 700 and found that once you removed the intake boots from the motor, that the carbs could be dropped and removed fairly easily. It was putting the airbox back on top of the carbs and back together in the bike that was difficult.
I can believe trying to fine tune a maddie with pods would be hard, if I remember they had different main jets for front and rear cylinders and possibly even different needles. Real easy to get confused and misplace. Good running motor though; I do miss the v4 rumble.
 
Much easier, :-D . I finally found a fairly easy way to get the V4's carbs out. I remove the intake manifolds and it gives a lot of room. On the GS I took the airbox off, loosened the intake boots and popped 'em right off.
On my 1200 I drilled three 1/2" holes in my baffle plates and she will rumble. You are correct in the different jets for different carbs. Same for the intakes front and rear.
