Hey guys....very interesting day here.
We had a mobile dyno at my work and I threw the XS up for everyone to laugh at...and that's what happened.
I knew the carbs were way off on it, but it runs and will break 100mph if I push it to without complaining.
which contradicts the numbers...on the dyno today it made 26hp lol, which is 10-15hp below what it should be making at the wheels (right?) and half of the crank hp stock. The "huh" moment was when it printed me rich. I was told by a mechanic a while back I was lean...which made sense with the open exhaust, pod filters, and ever so casual popping on deceleration when ever I gunned it. Also doesn't fit with the red hot headers earlier this season, unless my understanding of rich and lean is a$$ backwards...which i'm PRETTY sure isn't.
So now I turn to the magic of this forum for some possible explanations...I bumped my mains and pilots when I built the bike but not dramatically (at least not enough to create a rich environment I thought)
Either way i'm at a loss for power here and wondering if anyone might have some ideas as to why the bike acts lean, but prints rich?
