ive owned my 77xs400 for about a month now and have put around 500 miles on it already. hopefully this has just started, but i noticed there is a little puff of white smoke that faintly smells like oil when i goose the throttle sitting still. Also there is a bit of backfiring/ popping around 3k...

Pod filters, emgo shortys mufflers. carbs have been cleaned, with nothing more than varnish inside bowls and whatnot. stock jets and float height. I need to sync carbs as well 2 1/2 turns out on both idle screws yet to check timing and compression And plugs are clean so I know its running a...

Thanks man, this is the kind of advice I was hoping to hear. This weekend will be the start ofvit all. Cleaning carbs, installing mufflers, adjusting valves/ timing. Just so I know everything is on point. It has power through all rpms but looses some topend, its gotta be starving for more fuel...
