Hi folks. First post. I'm from Shrewsbury, England.
Another jetting question.
1996 bike, full Nexus exhaust and K&N lunchbox filter. Anybody got a suggestion for a good starting point.
I took  the stock airbox off as I'm building a little single seater and now all the electrics can be hidden infront of the battery.
I've had this bike for 16 years but its been in the back of a garage for the last 8 years. Decided to take it out of retirement , put a new battery on it, renewed oil and filter put fuel in and it fired up first time. A testament to the robustness  of the GS.

Thanks for the reply, most helpfull.
Just to clarify (first time I've  played with carbs) it states 'turns 3' that would be three turns of ?.

Found the answer to that from another post, 3 turns of the air screw!
Great site by the way.
