Opened up the clutch again. 2 issues: 2 plates are +- 2.7mm. So that's not good. The other issue is one broken damper cush spring. Ordered new High performance 7 plate clutch set + cush springs.
Question: is it neccesary to soak the plates in oil overnight prior to installation?
It's the Castrol power RS Power Sustain technology 20w50. It is not mentioned anywhere if it's full or semi or mineral. I can only see
SAE 20w-50; JASO MA-2 (T903:2016); API SN
EDIT...
Right. Changed the boots and changed pilot to 45 and main to 140. Running 2.5 out. Still testing but biig improvement already. Popping is completely gone.
Next issue: glutch slips when driving slow in let's say 4th and 5th. When I floor it revs goes up but speed doesn't. I have:
- new 20w50...
Thanks for the help. I ordered everything I need new. When removing the RH exhaust it was obvious there was a leak at the exhaust seal. Probably the reason why it popped on that side. Got new seals inbound!
Thanks for all the advice! I will change out the boots and re-adjust the float level. As for the rubber plug, there was a new one installed. It was just taken off for taking the photo.

So, Running those exhaust pipes and Velocity Stacks, instead of going higher in jets it's best to go down?
I'll go over the carbs en exhaust again to check for leaks
Thanks! I must say I haven't changed the throtle shaft valves yet. It might be a good idea to do that as the carbs where not used for at least 8 years.
Hi all, my build is finally coming together. I just fired her up and rode some 10 miles or so. It pops a little from RH side when iddling and at deceleration. Reving goes ok without popping. I must say I never rode an XS before so no clue what to expect. I have read the carb manual but I must...
Sorry for the late reply :-)
