Hello all. I just finished a 6 year project on a 73 XS (TX)650
I’ve just spent 2 days trying to tune the thing. I had the carbs rebuilt buy a motorcycle tech. They are really clean at least. I installed mikesxs electronic ignition and set timing, cam adjusted and set valves. The eazy stuff I know! The bike starts on first kick just falls all over itself mid throttle on. I’ve tried different pod filters and velocity stacks now I’m trying with no filter. I installed a set of 4 inch baffles in exhaust with a 18” tale pipe hooked to factory headers. From what I can tell the carbs are factory vm38s with 130 mains and 42.5 pilot jet. Is there someone I can pay to fine tune this puppy in the Indy area. May is crazy busy for me and I’m so excited to ride the thing.
