    different carbs for the XS?

    Howdy all,
    Im struggling to get my carbs working right and have read most all the threads here on the subject.
    I am curious if anyone has looked into more modern carbs off another model bike? Maybe FZR1000 or FJ1200 carbs?

    I am a new owner of an79 xs11 and was very happy to find the site.
    Thanks,
    Brooks

    Maximan has put a set of FJ1100 on his XJ11, and he says they bolt right up. The carb spacing is the same as the XS, so I would dare to say that the FJ1200 carbs would fit too?

      Like when fairing painted to match, looks cool

      XS carbs once set up normally have few issues and work well.

      So what's up with yours.
      4 into one exhaust, any other mods?

        good info on the FJ carbs... thanks.

        I just went into the carbs again and found my floats were off. Replaced all my main jets with new and running much better.

        thanks, I have the full vetter set match painted, just putting it all on today.

        Mods are just the 4 into 1 and a K&N filter.

        thanks for the welcome!
