    At last she rides nice.

    Have now changed the o-rings to the intake boots.Now she accelerates like a rocket up to 140 km/h (87 mph),then she more slowly raises speed.
    Maybe a little bit bigger mains are needed.

    4-1 Exhaust
    Synced carbs
    Mains are 122,(120 stock in Europe)
    Valve clearence checked.

    Try shimming the needles up a little, maybe the pipe is leaning her out a bit

      Yea, shimming the needles and upping the main would be a good idea.

        I'd do some plug reads first. Don't just assume it's a lean/jetting problem.
        If you're sure the bike is tuned well and the plugs look too light after 1/3 and full throttle tests, then try richer jetting.
        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!

            Is it too lean at part throttle or wide open?

            If at partial throttle move the needle, if at wide open get a bigger main jet.

            You DID do the plug chops, right?
