XS650 New Member
hey all - newbie here so treat me gently if i mess it up !
i have an xs650 hardtail bobber - not sure of the age of the engine but the v5 says 1974!
not sure which carbs i have either !
basically starts ok but when going past 3/4 throttle she starts to splutter
someone has said it is running lean - open exhaust pipes and cheap k&n filters
they have suggested going up to a 140 main jet and lifting the needle a notch
wanted to check with the experts before making expensive mistakes!
can anyone help with the following
what carbs are they mikuni.........?
will changing main jet make any difference?
thanks
here are some pics and i throw myself open to ridicule ...........
