hey everynody, im new here and i need some help
i have a 81 xs650, and ive been having trouble with it lately and cant figure out why, im hoping someone here can help
i bought the bike last year and its always been a bit cold natured, takes a while to warm up, no biggie, its an 81
but lately the trouble ive been having, is that from an idle, you cant twist the throttle too fast or it will spit, sputter, and pop out of what sounds to me like the left pipe, stutter a few times, and then catch. it will do it regardless if your taking off in first gear, or its just sitting at an idle and not in gear. to get it to accelerate smoothly you have to roll the throttle kinda slowly and it wont spit or sputter. its just aggrevating because im use to the *wop wop* throttle on my dirt bike from a dead stop idle i can rap the throttle and take off, id like to be able to do that with my xs, i use, but i havent been able to in a long time
ive tried everything i can to fix it, but nothing has worked, the carbs are squeaky clean, their synched with a homemade manometer, it has k&n air filters, and open pipes, it has the proper matching plug caps from mikes xs, and the right plugs. other than this trouble the bike runs fine and i put many miles on it.
the ONLY other thing i thought it could be, when it was at a friends house, he was changing the charging rotor, his dogs got to it and chewed my plug wires off. he replaced the entire coil with one from a suzuki i believe, or it might have been off a yamaha 1100, im not sure, his brother gave him the coil and he changed it before giving me the bike back, all i know, is it was off a 4 cylinder bike, and it works, but could that be my trouble? or is it something else?
someone please help me, its such a good bike for it to have this stupid little quirk, and also its aggrevating at a red light to twist it just right to move. so please, someone help me
