Heya Guys,
I gotta tell you I am stoked. I am no where's near finishing my project, but me and my buddy rejetted the carbs on my XS650 today and got her running pretty damn sweet. I'm not much of a video person, but I took a video of the first run after we put the carbs back on. It's been 25 years since I rode a motorcycle so for safety reason I had my buddy ride her first to see things checked out. I took her for a ride afterwards, then called it a night. Here's the vid link:
On the tech side I rejetted with 37.5 idle jets and 145 main jets. The idle jet had been 42, but we couldn't find any readable numbers on the main jets. After looking at both through a light it was apparent that we had gone up in size on the main. Wish I could be more help on that one. Anyhow, comments are welcome and appreciated. My buddy who has been riding for years was pretty impressed with her.
I wanted to give all of you guys a huge thank you. I read a LOT of info here and don't believe I would have had an idea of what to do without your help.
Later,
Mark
