52.5 pilot runing 2 vm34s? thats seems really big, however i had tossed around the idea of runing rich on the pilot to compensate for the lower air velocity due to the larger venturi on the VM34. tomorow i am going to try: Main 160 Pilot 30 Needle Jet P-4 same needle the bike has K&N...

YAY! Just over 2 months and the bike is still in the garage apart. sad sad thing for a bike that i use as a comuter and spent almost 300 days on the road last year.

11-1115 are 22mm for the OD of the spring, the OD of the Forks are 34mm they work great for 150lb rider, as most of our springs are clapped out at this point in time (30 years or so)

Hey guys, so i am looking for a little help on the subject of running Mikuni VM34's on My XS400. I took a guess at the Jetting going off of what the XS650 Guys are running and i think i went way to lean. The bike will start with A (1) choke on then just revs to the moon. i cant get the idle...

Sat on it and made motorcycle noises!!

My xs400 has a small leak on the countershaft sprocket sea. So i use motor oil on my chain; it gets lubed every time i turn it on. However on my other bikes i use BelRay chain lube.

Hi guys its been a while since I have been on. I am doing another rebuild on my bike so I wanted to share. More pics to come as I hop to have it back on the road in a week or so. Pictures to follow in a few min as I guess I can not upload from my I phone:wtf: here is the bike after i put it...

i wear a Nolan N43 for my day to day stuff and i love it. i hear Velmar makes ok helmets but i have not tried on on.

just for entertainment 80 xs400 45 pilot 145 main 1 needle spacer, uni foam pod filters, and full custom exhaust w/ baffles... runs amazing in the summer and like a raped ape in the winter.
