As I get close to finishing up my BBK install I have been searching many threads on carb tuning. I thought it might be nice to pull info from those running BBK's in their bikes on how they have them set up and have them and list all in one place. If you are running a BBK please share with us what your setup is (carb set, jetting, airfilters, exhaust, ingnition, etc...). If we get enough participants we could possibly make this a sticky to help anyone else going this route in the future.
My '77D setup is as follows:
BBK from Yamahaxs650.com - I had the issue with the mount holes that needed reamed out, which has been resolved.
78/79 BS38 carbs - Need to figure our my base jetting and needle position to get started.
Stock airboxes & filters
Custom high pipes 1-5/8" diameter. No mufflers, but Snuff-R-Nots installed at the end. Also running the exhaust port optimizers
Tytronic ignition w/ stock advance assembly.
*Also feel free to add any other info to share with those looking into this mod.... likes, dislikes, things to watch for...
