1983 gs650 mikuni dynojet problem

[24flinchin]

Hey all, I have an 83 gs650 shaft drive and want to run pods. I know I have to re-jet from my research here and just looked at the dynojet site and they only list 81-82 gs 650's. Whats different about the 83 carbs? thanks

See the carb sticky for 650 post here for differences...

Ah, Thanks. Sorry I shouldve looked in the stickys first. So it looks like they are the same carbs anyway so the jets from the 81-82's should work anyway. Unless Im reading that wrong. Thanks again

Check out the Katana pilot jet size in the STICKY. If you use that one it might run a tad rich.

hey guys i got my stage 3 kit for my 82 gs850 and i just now noticed it says 8 valve not 16 and DK shoes it will work. is this true or should i start building a house with these bricks im sitting on?

[24flinchin]

I got my kit but no real instructions with it,only a fact sheet. Anyone done this on these carbs that can steer me in the right direction? Or just follow a pdf from their site from another carb or? Thanks

The instructions dont change much from one bike to another. I went to the dynojet site and they dont even have a pdf for your 650. strange.
This is for an 850: http://www.dynojet.com/pdf/3306.pdf

Go to Dynojet's website and pull up the list of jet kits for Suzukis. Then go to the GS700 or 550. There is a PDF with instructions for those carbs. All of the instructions for the Mikuni CV carbs are pretty much the same. The only differences are going to be the jet sizes and maybe where to clip the snap ring on the jet needle. Use the Stage I instructions for an airbox and either stock exhaust or header, Stage III for a header and pods.

[24flinchin]

Exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks to both of you

No problemo dude. It's a littlebit freaky drilling into perfectly good slides but the improvements are worth it.

no one tells you this before it's too late but don't use a drill press. those holes are angled. be careful. it is a nightmare trying to find new slides.

[kilog55]

yeah i figured the angle part out as i was drilling and they went real quick i was all like but everything is fine now the dang snaprings were a pain

A trick with the snap rings is get a cheap pair of needle nose pliers and take a dremel and notchs the tips just a little bit to let the snap ring holes lock into the pliers a little bit. That keeps the pliers from sliding off.
