1979 XS 750
Hi everyone, this is my first post about my first ever motorcycle, hoping to get some help from yall!
The previous owner of this bike had the genius idea to gut the stock exhaust (I guess a loud engine that runs like trash was what he was after) without doing any tuning or rejetting. I could immediately tell by the way the engine bogs down when I open the throttle that the jets are struggling to give the engine enough gas. For some reason he also decided to gut the air filter inside the stock airbox?? I don't exactly understand the reasoning behind that. Since the stock exhaust is already in bad enough shape, I've decided to go with the Delkevic 3-to-1 exhaust, plus some pod filters (yes, I've made sure to get the ones that don't block the pilot circuit). I saw another forum post saying a 135-137.5 main and 45-47.5 pilot jets should be good enough for this. the stock jets are 130 main and 42.5 pilot.
Hoping to get some extra opinions on this, thanks!
