    '82 Bar Hopper

    This thread will outline my modifications to the last of my Dad's XS650s. This bike is an 1982 which has had some fairly substantial frame modifications. Dad built this bike approximately 10 years ago, but never rode it much. He always referred to it as a "bar hopper" which I believe is...

    Anybody got any experience with running flatslide carbs?

    My carbs are in rough shape and I bought a pair of Mikuni style flat slide carbs (same size as OEM) that I want to eventually swap onto the bike. I'm wondering if anybody has any idea what would be a good jet size to start out with to make tuning slightly less painful. My engine is stock. Thanks!
