Hi everyone,
My '83 xs400 maxim has been treating me very well lately. I've installed new handlebars and new slip on mufflers. Looks and sounds great in my opinion!
The issue arises ever since I put on the new mufflers. the bike accelerates approximately the same to about 6000rpm, and anything past that is mainly just engine rev noise but hardly any power. In an effort to "fix" this I replaced the main jets in both carbs to one size bigger from stock, and since doing this there hasn't been any real improvement in the upper portion of the power band. My air filter is clean and I've been checking the plugs frequently and its not running too lean, maybe the tiniest bit rich if anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance guys.
