82 GS1100G wont excellerate after dynojet, pipes and pods

No why would you. Its not about the not helping its about the posting to say your not helping or just posting snark, Instead of trying to understand why he has that opinion.
Didn't your mother teach you if you cant say anything nice then don't say anything at all? It really should apply to a lot of the posts towards new members that i've seen lately.

Why does this site exist? Is it to help new riders become old riders and learn more about their bikes? or is it just so you lot can stand around and pat each other on the back for how awesome you all are....and oh look he has a wes cooley! ....lets go be nice to him

Weapon, I haven't seen you offer him any advice on how to fix the great-running bike that he chose to screw up... Go for it.

[Weapon]

If I knew what he needed to do I would have, I don't know G's at all. At this point advising him to return to stock would just seem like a "pile on".

But that wasn't my point.
I love this site and info and the great help people give here, but I am seeing some elitist crap in some posts lately that definitely aren't helping the sites image with new users. Should I just keep quiet about it?

Weapon, the motorcycle is designed to run with some sort of exhaust on it. Maybe it can be run without one, but it will probably be a fight if at all possible. And be noisy, obnoxious, give poor milage and probably run poorly. The OP would probably be safer with an air horn facing front than loud pipes.

[Weapon]

I am aware of that bud. My bike has exhaust....and it runs well.
I have struggled with air box removal and CV carbs on my GS1100E though.
They don't like it, that's for sure. the stage 3 kit will get you close but you still have to fiddle to get decent performance. I wouldn't add an open exhaust system to that mix, and expect good results.
I am not certain but its probable the OP has been given bad advice "loud pipes save lives" or some equally ridiculous sound byte (pun intended).

I am also not a fan of over the top loud exhausts either. I like a bike with a bit of a bark when you open it up, but I have neighbours too and I try and respect them.

Also this:

Contempt for me and the OP, all in a single complete sentence with no helpful advice to be seen anywhere. This post perfectly illustrates the point I was trying to make. well done.

I don't really care what the OP does to his "L",and I don't really care to help if he is running some unknown pipe with no baffle with the wrong jet kit. Having said that I would also be surprised if it would not be made to run better than it does.

I would put the baffle back in and start changing the main based on what the plugs look like. There may be no solution other than getting the correct jet kit (for the needle), but this is the OP's problem is he expects any old thing to be thrown in and expected to work.

All in all it seems pretty hopeless and maybe I'll join the peanut gallery of grousers.

...and now, you have expressed yours. Smells just like the others.

Drill a hole in each head pipe and weld in a bung for a wide band O2. That should take the guess work out of tuning it for all ranges.

I had thought of that. I should have kept my old header for this.

Loud pipes save lives, it's has never been proven or disproven.
Or how about silent pipes saves lives?

All I can say is the one time I almost got run over crossing the street because of a !@#$@!#$ super silent electric vehicle. I can no longer rely on audible cues.

You don't need a bung. Just something to stick up the pipe.

Is it not better to have one reading per cylinder/exhaust?
