    1978 GS1000 Jetting Help

    I have 1978 GS1000 with stock mikuni carbs and Emgo Pod Filters. The Previous owner cut to mufflers off at the pegs and I just extended them with a flexible pipe(loud but cool).

    What jets go you think I should use? Anay additional info would be appreciated.

    Get some K&N pods - the emgo's are rubbish.....

    I have a sent of Uniflow that will fit you can buy - better but still nowhere near as good as the K&N's (that's why I'm taking them off!)

    Then get a Dynojet kit & fit it. Best $100 you've ever spent... you'll burn that in Jets trying to get it right jetting it yourself.

      Just to clarify what Monk posted, you'd want a Stage III kit for that setup. They also make a Stage I for basically the stock airbox and stock or aftermarket exhaust.

        Apparently NOT for the 78... only a stage 3

          Too bad. Oh well, one can always "make" one by using the needles from the stage III kit and using smaller DJ mains.

              K&N Filters and Jets

              OK, so I think I scored big. I got a K&N Motorcycle Power Kit for $113 shipped on ebay. It contains 4 filters and carb calibration kit! now what!? I guess I wait for delivery Huh?!?! Stoked!

              I went for a ride on the bike today. My wife wants me to put an exhaust. Is there something out there that wont break the bank but sounds cool?

                I do believe the "calibration kit" is a Dynojet kit.

                  Dynojet Kit

                  Before I bought it I looked on the internet and I think you're right. I love the listings that don't sell high because of vague discriptions. I got a new Dyna S ignition and two new green Dyna coils with accel wires for $175 for the same reason.

                    Nice... very good at that price if it is!

                    Only really common new exhaust available is a V&H for about $300. If you want a black one to clean up there is a guy on here trying to shift one for about $75. I have his email address. PM me if you want it....
