hi there i have an 82 gs1100ez does anyone have a fix or a idea for replacing the carbs ??

You're going to need to be more specific than that, I'm afraid. What's wrong exactly? Are they gummed up? Broken post? Missing altogether?

Mike is right on...we need more info before we can be of much help...BUT, you did come to the right place!!:-D Lots of carb gurus here. What symptoms are you looking to cure? Are the carbs in there stock configuration? What about the exhaust system? Stock/higher flow aftermarket system? Stock airbox/filter, or an oem style K&N filer, or does it have indiviual pod filters? Lots of variables, here!

If the bike has been sitting for any lentgth of time, it would probably do well to remove the whole bank and soak them after disassembly.

Bogging at low rpm's?
Surging at highway speeds while cruising/small amounts of steady throttle?
Backfire thru exhaust?
"farting" thru the carbs?

Give us some more info, and I am sure the clan can be of assistance!

Those stock carbs are VERY user friendly as far as rebuilding goes. If you want more power the Mikuni 33 round slide smoothbores are good as are the 36 flat slides. Also, the Keihin round slide smoothbores are good. Give us more info please! Ray.
