Hi guys,
I purchased a 1979 XS650s last week and need some help regarding tuning. The bike is equipped with the standard 38mm carbs. The only modifications are K&N filters (OEM style, not pods), XS1 style header pipes, and Dunstall British style slip-ons.
The problem is that the bike falls completely flat just off idle; to the point where more often than not it stalls it out. The previous owner had only said that he went up one size on the main jet.
I'm looking at the list of jets on Mikesxs.com and have no idea where to begin with selecting sizes. Also they are listed as being sold in pairs, is one pair enough for both carbs? I would also assume that the pilot jets need to be changed as well?
I would like to make the attempt at rejetting the carbs on my own but have no experience doing so. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
