xsinclairx Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 I got my frame back today, rear loop welded in. Its such a great job it almost seems a shame to cover it up with a seat. A few things have changed in my build, I'm going with drag bars and not clip ons for the moment and I decided to paint the triple tree black. I have pod filters, indicators a headlight and bars coming in the post, I still havnt purchased my mini speedo from dime city. And now I cant decide if I want to DIY paint my frame or get it blasted and powder coated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anglia4 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Which happens first? Shocks bottoming out or tyre hitting frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Tyre hitting frame :/ I didn't really think that through but it is on softest setting and there's still clearance when I bounce on it. Always an option to upgrade suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Bugger! My experience is that if it can hit, it will lol. If not during normal riding then definitely when you are doing jumps. At least thats what happened on my CB haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all there to finish just waiting on air filters and fitting everything. stupid big original headlight had all the excess harness bunched up in it what to do with it now? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Boring update time... All together minus seat and battery box. Bike is running but bogs down at around 6k rpm, im guessing shit in the carb jets Ill try and upload pic later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benno Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Running pod filters by any chance? If so, you're in for a whole world of problems man. These stupid vacuum slide carbs don't work well without stock airbox, lots of fucking around to get them running ok but probably not as good as stock. I don't have the original carbs or airbox for mine and can't afford decent replacements, but if I could I would have just binned them long ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Shit, I wish someone told me that earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benno Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 With a bit of fiddling you should be able to get them running 'close enough'. You'll need to go up a couple of jet sizes as it will be running lean due to the additional air flow. If you do some searching around you might be able to find someone who has done it before to get an idea of the best jet size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flauski Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 you could get some mikunis from a bike like my Kwaka kz650? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Or a set of Keihins off an early CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayholes mum Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 If you do want to stick with what you have its pretty easy to re-jet, all the info is available for how to do it, alternatley,Dynojet do off the shelf jet kits which are awesome and come with full instructions for install and tuning. Used one of these on my gsf1200 engine... Works primo!think they're about $100us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks for the info guys! I pulled the float bowls off and the jets in there are marked 97.5 and the jets you can see when you take the air box off are 150 so it has to be changed.. I am dead against putting in the factory set up again haha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 That doesn't seem right? I know in cbs it is a 15% increase or there abouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Been reading up on GSresources and they recommend a Dynajet 3 Stage kit and decent quality pods so that's what ill do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I think I got 120 mains in my GS1000 running velocity stacks, stock is 100ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsinclairx Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Quick update... I got a little freaked out when people started saying that i have shitty un tuneable carbs and done some research. It turns out running a stage 3 jet kit from Dynojet is the only way to run pod filters and a 4 into 1 exhaust, the main jet in there now is 160 compared to the 97.5. Runs like a champ now! The kit also required drilling out the breather hole in the slide a little larger and replacing the needle. I guess I should have taken photos of the process but I was far to eager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
