Generally, sometimes yes, sometimes no. Being the plugs are never oil fouled, just wet from unburnt fuel. Bike has been tested multiple times with a CO analyzer it shows the left hand side very rich compared to the rh side. If I switch the carbs side to side, the problem shifts side to side, so...

I was misled then. I will source a couple of new Z6s to cover the bases. Thank you very much, your help is greatly appreciated !

I was told needle jets are not available. So if it’s faulty wth does a person do ? If its a passage , I am screwed !

With all the researching on the Y22 needle, A pic came up that showed four different versions of the Y22 and four different sizes. Which only confuses me when people say there is only one. The only kits I have ever used are KEaster.

I have not removed it as people have said it’s easy to damage And virtually hard to find.

During cleaning, needles were removed and measured with a caliper to verify if it meets original spec and it- they do. Will look into Niche cycle, thanks. Apparently there were four different Y22 rods, all with different measurements, but mine specked to stock specs. Would going one size smaller...

What exactly is a Y-22 needle , any certains years ? I have reset rod clip to #4 position. Was set too #2 to try and figure this issue out.

Hope everyone is doing well. I need help, in more ways then one, lol. I am just finishing a total build on my XS2 and am having an issue I have never had in owning and working on these bikes since 71. Bike has all new ignition, dwell set to spec, timing on spec, advance on spec. Charging system...

My 72, ohhhh so close. Too cold to paint yet, so maybe next month.

My 72 ready to restore. Nice from a distance, lol.

My 71 that I restored last year. Working on my 72 at present ! Looking for a 70 to rebuild.

Old issue, but what the heck. Filled my 72 tank with double strength cleaning vinegar , I believe 10 % and rotated in every other day for a week, cam out super clean.

That ad convinced me that my first big bike would be the XS1B ! Dam what a great choice it was !!

The Dynasty begins here !

Beautiful !!

Love the 70 XS1 ! Got a 71&72, would love a 70 !
