    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    Tracing Down a Vacuum Leak

    A poor vacuum sync can cause a hanging idle. Those aftermarket intake boots raise a red flag to me. The pods could also contribute to a lean mixture.

    e-bike commuting

    e-bikes are everywhere in my area. The bike rack at the local school went from being a cobweb catcher a few years ago to overflowing now. I wonder if any young riders will turn into motorcyclists in the future? I suspect that some will. Related but different, there are these unicycle...

    Looking for a fuel bowl for a 32mm Mikuni GS1100

    They are BS34 carbs, the bowls are identical to the 32's.

    Poor Man's Air Restrictors

    Air correctors reduce the amount of air that enters the internal fuel/air channel inside the carb body. This richens up the mixture emulsion that feeds the engine. The airflow through the carb is not affected; thus, you get the full "pod effect" in terms of added airflow.

    FUEL T SEALS

    I know guys that do that with VM carb Tees and transfer tubes. Considering item 14 is less than $5 each, I'd be buying the proper part. Leaking fuel is dangerous.

    LH Carburetor Body

    Unless you need the bike for daily transportation, I wouldn't run that carb body. Find a replacement. As mentioned by Steve, you need to be specific about what exact carb you need, since all four are different. The GS550, 650 750, and 850 all used BS32 carbs, they are not exactly the same...

    Valve Guide Seals

    I'd buy from Schumann. They are reputable and these seals are made in Japan.

    Rusted seat hinge renovation ish

    For something like those hinges, either use the special derusting sauce or phosphoric acid. Home Depot sells Kleenstrip Etch & Prep for less than $20 a gallon. It works fast, unlike vinegar. For protection, I'd either zinc plate or powder coat. Gun Blue has low rust resistance. Better than...

    Surface rust on chrome

    I like regular old-fashioned Turtle Wax chrome cleaner. Steel wool can scratch unless you use the 000 stuff, and that stuff turns to mush quite easily.

    Where do you guys buy Mikuni VM 26 jets from

    Niche cycle is a good source. Or just check eBay. Lots of sellers pedal the good Mikuni stuff.

    Frame brace kits 82 GS1100E

    I don't think there are kits per se, at least anymore, but since you have to cut to fit regardless, making the braces shouldn't be a big issue. There is a long thread here in the archives on the subject. Also, on oldskoolsuzuki. If you do it, please be sure to post lots of photos so we can...

    Cheap, but good, derusting sauce

    Hey Roger, I've never used this mix, yet. Haven't had the need. Personally, I'd try a small shot of soap, and see how it works out. I suppose the necessity depends on how oily the parts are.

    recommended needle shim modification?

    Maybe it's not running right on top because it's too rich? As Dan mentions, it should only take a size or maybe two larger on the main, assuming the airbox is installed.
