Title: New guy questions.
Post by: Bscanlon64 on June 03, 2013, 04:42:25 PM
First post here! Just bought a 1990 GS500 this past weekend! Solid body with 14,500 miles on her roughly. First motorcycle ever and couldn't be more excited. Already looking in to performance parts.

The popular intake seems to be the k&n "lunchbox" as I've heard it called.

What about exhaust? I've seen a good looking vance&hines system. Is that pretty much the extent of bolt on exhaust kits for my gen bike?

Most importantly I assume would be the carb tuning. With the k&n and possibly the Vance and Hines kit, what jets is everyone using?

Thanks in advance to any help and information. Looking forward to many more posts here on this forum!

Not much for performance parts really.

A lot of people keep most of their info in their signatures though

I'll introduce you to the wiki linked below. Lots of good info throughout the wiki.

http://wiki.gstwins.com/index.php?n=Main.Upgrades

You'll find an upgrades page, with a performance section.  That section includes rejetting info with different setups.

If you decide to go for 'performance' mods, Buddha the moderator can hook you up with a simple rejet kit for pretty cheap.
