Another new guy, looking to living a little on XS

[BA80]

Given that it is not broken, might someone be able to tell me how far to back out the mixture screw?

I've not heard of a mixture screw breaking in the later carbs. It was an issue with the 78 - 79 though.

Start the settings at 1 1/2 - 2 turns and adjust them individually when you get the engine running and up to operating temperature.

Don't be surprised if the idle-mix screws end up out in the 3 1/2 turn range on the later model BS34's used on the 80 thru XJ models.

Lots of info can be found with the search feature.

I highly recommend you put "xs11.com what you are looking for" into google. I think it works a lot better than the built in search.

Very nice bike.

First thing to do is just HANG ON.
