XS650 Addict
I am finishing up my 1980 XS650 bike build and the bike starts up and seems to idle fine. However, sometimes there is a sort of backfire through the carb. Also, when riding it seems like there is a lot of vibration to the point my vision is blurred and the bike, although responsive, doesn't seem like it has all the power it should. The battery is new and the charging system is working fine.
I am now running these pod filters from mikes xs:
https://www.mikesxs.net/parts/yamaha-xs650-54mm-tapered-oval-pod-air-filter-2-1-8
and Delkevic 2 to 1 exhaust, other than that the bike is stock.
As far as tuning goes I installed a #45 pilot and #137.5 main jet and the carbs are synced. So I guess my question is, what are some things I should check? and how do I know I have the bike jetted correctly?
