Gs1100L Carb Jetting (V&H4-1 + Pod Filters)

[Guest]

So I have finished all the maintenance to my bike except for rebuilding the fork, which I'll be doing this weekend. Now it's time to get it looking good and moving faster.

I have picked out a nice set of carb filters here:

and a V&H 4 into 1 exhaust here:

I don't know much about carb jetting, but I have torn down and cleaned my carbs 5 or 6 times. I was hoping someone here is running a simliar setup and can point me in the right direction on which size jets to use.

Thanks in advance.

I would start here, http://www.dynojet.com/jetkits/motor...zuki.aspx#1000

Install stage 3 for pods and exhaust would be a good starting point.

Is this the 1980 GS1100LT model? Sixteen valve motor?

I too was thinking the same thing.
Perhaps he doesn't know that BOTH engines were available that year?

I would go with the Dynojet kit. It will save you a lot of hassle and headaches.
The reason I ask about what year is I could give you a good base jetting for the sixteen valve. With the eight valve just follow the directions in the DJ kit.
