just jetted it runs like a top and did float levels checked overflow tubes for flow but bike shuts down after a lap around the block right before it starts bogging when given throtle????? whats wrong???
You're not giving us a whole lot to go on here kid.
What was it before you started working on it, what did you do, and what did it look like when you were in there.
Cool.
Buddha.
the bike has 162psi in the engine two brand new carbs 150/40/ three turns 2 washers checked the floats adjusted them to the top of the bowl cleaned every piece of the carb checked all rings replaced two in vaccum on the top of carb.... when i first got it it had a lunchbox and a f1r cobra exahust and looks like the wiring was redone at some point and upgraded front fork other than that its stock... for now
so the problem is when the bike gets warmed up i guess, i take it around the block and after let it idle once it idles and i give it some throtle it bogs around two or three and doesnt do anything more unless its wide open throtle and even then it will bog out after a few seconds.... im at a stand still right now i guess my next step was going to be adjusting my valves and chain... any advice on what to do also if you need any more info let me know i will do my best to keep checking back and once again i cant thank you guys enough :2guns: :bowdown:

checked the floats adjusted them to the top of the bowl
How exactly did you set the floats?
Clicky (http://cgi.stanford.edu/~sanjayd/gs500/Maintenance/FloatHeight)
i used that method and dialed in my floats right to the top seem of the bowl where it meets to top half of the carb :cookoo:
No insult intended friend. Sorry if it sounded that way. :icon_mrgreen: Just, it sounds like a fuel thing or lack thereof. Have you tried running it in prime and checked for kinks in you fuel lines?
Dumb stuff I know, but hopefully that's all!!
Will it start up right after it stalls or do you have to let it cool down or prime the carbs to restart it?
i replaced the fuel lines with new ones and they were kinked but im still having the problem rechecked the floats still good and it does start after it stalls i put a inline filter in after i replaced the lines and it fills to the level of the floats and continues to flow fuel so i realize that its not fuel lines i put one more washer on the needle and it seems to run better but still stalls im about to pull the plugs to see how lean or rich its running...
but once again thanks for the help. O0
o and none taken i appreciate all of the feedback that anyone can offer...

Have you checked how much fuel is in the bowls right when it stalls? If not you could try this just leave the petcock to "ON" so no more enters after the stall.
