performance question

[darrelldaltonga]

well

I appreciate all the help and comments. You people are truly a good bunch. My bike started running very crappy and didn't want to start. I traced the problem back to a wire going into the coil when i touch the wire it runs GREAT!! When i let it go its obvious that its running on 3 cylinders I haven't had time to correct it yet and i'm not sure this will make it any better than it was when i got the bike but we'll keep our fingers crossed and hopefully I'll be eating Suzuki's for breakfast!!

GIVE' EM HELL!!!! But seriously, we are lucky to have 30 year old bikes that can still give us wipelash and then leaving the newer bikes in the dust

if i can get mine to that point...

Does anybody know where i can get or see a detailed picture(s) or diagram of the entire vacuum routing for this bike?
Could incorrect vacuum and not hooked up vacuum cause a power loss

Interesting you mention the rattle your teeth out thing Ivan. The other day I was behind a Hardly in the cage, a newer one, as in post 1990 I would suspect anyway. This thing sitting still had the entire bike shaking like a freaking shake table in a casting factory!! I'm talking everything except the wheels was bouncing. The guys arms looked like he had parkinsons or something holding onto the bars! It was a dresser and even the bags were shaking so hard, I wanted to pour some 'rita mix in and follow him for a stop or two and drink up! Amazing what some people will pay money for!

Funny yall are talking about that cause my MSF instructor was a woman and her license plate read

"VIBRTR"

She said its the most expensive vibrator you can buy!

You should have one vacuum line from the #2 CARB BODY going to the left side case. That is for the advance mech. As you have a different tank, the four vacuum nipples on the INTAKE BOOTS should be plugged. IF you have an electrical problem (loose wire) you will need to fix that PROPERLY BEFORE trying anything else.

thanks Diverray

i'll let you know how it turns out tomorrow night

I never had much fun on either of my XS bikes under 5500rpm. My 79sf had a 4-1 pipe - not a lot down low but screamed above 5500 - and the 80g had the stock 4-2 pipes.

The XS runs out of revs quick but I wouldn't race anyone under 5500rpm!
