bs 34's and pods..

for the record..have an 82 ltd1000 and used the emgo pods..4-1 v&h pipe..no issues what so ever..throttle response is great..and tacs way out..should note have the bs 34's that some said wouldn't operate correctly with pod filters..

Did you buy this bike New? Have the carbs ever been installed with a stage 1 or 3 Dinojet mod?

jetted as per jeff saunders instruction..140 main..40 pilots..runs like a striped ass ape!!...minus the second gear issue which is soon to be fixed..very snappy throttle response..and loads of top end..didnt but new..had 26,000 on the clock..stock bars and 4-2 pipes..

...how many turns out on mixture screws?.....mess with air jet any?......

haven't touched mixture screws at all..so couldn't tell ya..might just be a fluke but she runs great with the exeption of no second gear....YET..

i agree i put a stage 3 kit in my 82 j model new ermgo pod filters and a v&h 4into1 used my morgan carbtune to sync when i was done with mixture screws 2 and a half turns outs just have to make sure motorcycle was good and warm before carb synch and my kaw runs like a top now.no problems at all..just my 2 cents..ps also installed new dyna coils and wires and did wg relay mod.....

This bike may have had a stage 3 kit put into it. Did it have a K&N filter in the stock air box? Did it have the lid on the air box?

can i ask
do you recommend dynojet stage 1 or 3
for my set up?



carbs
Mikuni bs34mm carbs by WG Carbs,
1 and a half turns out.
Main Jet #142.5Pilot Jet #40,
34mm K and n air filters,(pods)

motor
Gpz1100b1 motor 1170 cc, 3mm over size?,
4 - 1 Sidewinder headers viper oval can.

standard cams from the b1

otakar you still here?

my carbs were box stock and the air filter looked like it had been in there since '82..all i did waas uped the mains to 140's and pilots to 40..

I would be willing to bet that the needles are not stock and the slides are not either. I have gone threw the full range of 130 to 145 jet sizes with stock carbs and the bike will not get to 7000revs. Not until the slides got changed and the needles. You MIGHT be able to stay with stock needles. but not with stock slides. They will not open all the way because of the lack of sufficient vacuum. For PODS you would need a minimum of a stage 3 kit.

not trying to be argumentative here, but i got my k and n 's today and i put them on..i had tried to clearance out the emgos with a dremel.....
bike runs super....45 pilots and 135 mains 3 turns out.....strong on the bottom, good midrange and its still pulling well at 8500.....i got the chance to whack it open pretty good 3 times in a quick ride and it was still pulling at 8500.....the last one was an 8500 1-2 and i was like "this thing moves pretty good".....i couldnt be happier...this is the 3rd set of carbs i ve tried and i think i m home
on this set....its nice to finally cruise around low speed and have good response and have it relocate quickly when i whack it......:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
