    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.

    Higher Rpm wall/cutting out

    Sometimes you can just remove the air box lid untill you get the correct (smaller) jets installed.

    Bike bogs down while running in 2nd gear

    It seems normal. Your rpms are too low and the engine is lugging. Those little 250s they trained you on are geared allot lower and they are a little lighter. It'll just take a little getting used to your bike.

    If not jetting, then what?

    I have a wideband set up on my gs1100, and it's a terrific tool for tuning. It's weak point is that it takes an average a/f measurement for all four cylinders, and that can sometimes drive you a little crazy. An example is, I was tuning one of the other member's bike and the readings showed...

    Pilot screw turns: the saga continues

    Ok, don't believe me. The Factory Pro sequence assumes you're in the ballpark with your pilot jet (and you're using the correct style), along with a needle with a correct taper. The main jet has almost 0 effect on your idle and low rpms/small throttle openings. But carry on, I'm just trying to...

    Pilot screw turns: the saga continues

    You could put a 250 main jet in there and it would have no effect on idle or any throttle position under 1/2 . If you're having idle probs and low rpm probs, changing the main jets is just giving your screwdriver a workout.

    Pilot screw turns: the saga continues

    Someone may have pointed this out, that you can use the perforated (bleed style) pilot jets in the non-bleed pilot carbs, BUT they require a different size as the hole in the bottom of the jets are sized differently. You can search around the internet and figure out what size you need... Or...

    Smallest 530 chain front sprocket?

    It's also easier to install and less chance of my chain becoming too short to adjust for. I figured for less than $20 it'd be fun to try and see how the old girl responds. It's not like I do many top speed runs anyway (but I did show an indicated 125mph last weekend-lol. But I suspect the...

    Smallest 530 chain front sprocket?

    I've got the 530 chain conversion kit on my bike with a 17 tooth front sprocket but I'd like to try a 16 tooth sprocket to get a little better acceleration. I hear if the front sprocket is too small in diameter the chain can rub on the swingarm. So what's the smallest that can be used and will...

    GS550E full throttle stutter at 8000rpm

    Around here (in the US) gas has been reformulated for the past several years and it doesn't color the plugs like it used to. Tan used to be spot on, but now they will look nearly white when they are correct.

    1150 transmission question...

    The new gears came in Wed and they have flat 90 degree shoulders. I'll bring them by and we can figure out how to press the old ones off and get the new ones on.

    1150 transmission question...

    Instead of reading through the pages of responses to this (lol), we decided to replace the gear to be on the safe side. We didn't want to have to pull it all apart again.

    Cylinder stud o-rings? Gs1150

    Thank you, I didn't check all the sub-models (I mean why would they only show up on some models?). You've helped me out allot! Note: I clicked on the item an it lists the dimensions 2.4mm x 11mm I'd.)

    1982 GS1100GK - not accelerating smoothly when engine is hot

    Those plugs look a little lean, but that doesn't mean much in diagnosing if it's a mixture problem unless you drove a little ways with the engine acting up. Then noted your throttle position while it was happening. Then, while it was acting up you immediately pulled in the clutch and turned...

    Starter Interchange

    Thanks guys. It's still a month or two away from being ready, but I'd have been a little p'd off on the day I got it installed in the bike and find out my old starter didn't work. Lol.

    Clutch switch issues

    I was having the opposite problem. I'd have the squeeze the clutch a few times before it would start. I was going to clean it but instead I removed it and connected the leads inside the headlight. I haven't regretted it yet but out of years of riding ATVs and bikes it's habit for me to pull...

    Starter Interchange

    I'm working on a GS1150 engine, and it needs a starter. When I look at the part numbers it looks like the 1150 and 1100 starters may be different. Can they be interchanged?

    Cylinder stud o-rings? Gs1150

    Me and another member here (Gregory) are rebuilding an GS1150. We're gathering parts together so you'll probably here more questions from us in the future. Lol. This question is about some o-rings that were in the case around the cylinder studs. They measure about 15.6mm OD, and I can't find...

    why no self canceling signals?

    Heck if think 90 seconds would be fine. It beats the heck outta me riding for 15 minutes before I realize it's still on. Lol

    Is a 1988 gsx1100 engine a direct drop in for 1100e frame?

    It looks like it's some minor wiring (you'll need an electric tach), an oil cooler, and some custom motor mounts. Otherwise it seems pretty straight forward
