Hey All,
New to the site here, just traded some guy a TW200 i owned for a junkyard modded 1980 xs650 special. Mechanically all there just kinda ugly. Starts on first kick, good compression, rebuilt engine, idles all day. The bike came with all the stock parts, but on the bike currently is a TM34 flatslide carb which reaaaaly rips. I did a plug chop and the plugs seamed fine, a little lighter discoloration on the tip but looked fine and felt fine while at speed. The acceleration however feel wrong; there is very little action between 1/8 turn of the gas and 1/2 turn and all the action is 3/4 + turn. The main jet in there currently is a 210, and i ordered 2 sizes down thinking that the shaky feeling is the main jet. Also when i am off the throttle, the bike seems to shake around a little. Need some guidance from the pros!
