Hey all this is my first thread on this forum! I have been searching it for a while, but I thought it was time to make a thread to get some in depth help with my bike so here it goes...
I just picked up an '82 xs400 maxim, for pretty cheap, the previous owner was going down the bobber route with the bike and I intend to do the same thing!
Today I finally got the bike to run, before it would sputter for maybe 3 seconds. Now it is running with the choke only though. It has pod filters that I took off today and I think that helped the bike to get going. The exhaust is a 2 into 1 and seems pretty high flowing (no muffler).
After doing a bit of research on this site, I saw that jetting may be the issue?
Any help/advice is appreciated from a new member! Thanks in advance!
