Restricted carburettors

[frank345]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum. Name is Frank and I live in Ireland. I have a restriction question for the board. I have a factory restricted GS500 (2002) and am lead to believe it is restricted via the carb slides/pistons. I removed the slides today and there a hole going through the slide as well as 2 holes in the bottom of each slide. Tried to add pictures but they were too large.

I am just looking for some advice as to whether they are the restricted slides or not and if "full power" slides can be obtained.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Thanks in advance!

I have never seen the restrictor but believe it is a plate between head and carbs that has a smaller hole than the carb throat, thus restricting airflow. I'd guess the slides are standard.

Differences in the jets and springs also.

Good to have that group memory on the board;-)
