1st pic; "grandad did you fart?" (the queen can smell something) 2nd pic; "god that stinks" (anne and charles can smell now) 3rd pic; " fuck me you dirty bastard" (queen is not amused and the duke is satisfied with his effect)

kevin you sure those carbs are correctly jetted for the bike? too rich or lean can have the same effect your describing standard jetting is; 1981 SH/LH mains=110(1&4)& 120(2&3) pilot=42.5 start jet=25 main air=140 pilot air=185 throttle valve=135 on a Mikuni BS34-II if you don't get many replies i can direct you to http://www.xs11.com/forum/ as they are the specialists for the marque cheers drewps

did you really really clean those carbs? we've had peeps on here swear that they did and it ends up that all they did was a quick spray with a carb cleaner. after 10 years sitting, that fuel will be well varnished and I always recommend soaking and use ultrasonic cleaning. TBH i sent off my first carbs to a pro cleaner who also rebuilt them at the same time and he was amazed at the amount of crud that came out!!£100 well spent i got my own little ultrasonic cleaner now and had my latest carbs vapour blasted inside and out! hope that helps BTW to the forum

clicking multiquote and then add reply will bring up all the postings for that topic within the reply box. then you can respond to each postee within one page rather than keep replying to all the posts by looking for {/quote} which finishes each post quote hope that makes sense

and if the cats trigger it?

enjoy your wheels

no you start the engine and spray around the carb inlet and listen for it firing

try a 20w fork oil, wurth do progressive spings check out the "minton mods" for xs650's very similar to 400's upgrade (i used the fork oil capacity from this)

stuart nice bike, lets hope we have nice weather

sounds like a big air leak! is the rubber manifold capped off/secure? spray th inlets with carb spray and see if the engine fires on that side
