Bogging at around 6k
Took my bike out in the neighborhood, and wound 1st up, started bogging bad at 6k. So I guess I am going to have to dig into the carbs. The bike has a Supertrapp without any of the discs installed, and PODs, so I am thinking the jetting is probably not setup right. I guess while I have them off, I will get the o-rings for the intake side. Should I just get a Stage 2 kit, and redo them?? Help!Tags: None

Clean & Dip the carbs, install new intake O rings, buy a DynoJet kit for it if it doesn't have one (best with K&N pods not foam or cheap ones) & away you go... Almost guaranteed success!
That's what I did on recommendation here.

Don't run pods without jetting the bike properly. You will hole a piston. Up the main jet at least four sizes (ex 110-120) and shim the needle.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

If it's "bogging bad" at those RPM then you've prob. got a blocked main jet.
If you want to cut out a lot of mucking around trying to come up with a main jet size that's 'in the ball park' for your engine's current state of tune, then I recommend getting a fuel check by a dyno operator. That will tell you the air-fuel ratio across the rev-range, and an experienced operator should be able to advise on what size main jet to try next.
All the best!

Well, I looked at the points and they looked like they were new. I also took a couple of the spark plugs out which also looked new, and they were sooted up pretty bad. Does this mean it's running too rich????
