Title: Restricted carburettors
Post by: frank345 on July 18, 2015, 10:24:10 AM
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.
