You might want to post this question in the XS11/XJ Discussions forum. It is a little out of the way in here.

Well, somebody moved it so lets get to the issue. What jetting are the carbs running and what are your intake and exhaust set-ups? These are good things to add to your signature.'81 XS1100 SH

Next thing to add is "when did you last/how many times" have you stripped the carbs down for a thorough cleaning?Any thing less than "recently" and "three times" and your first course of action will be obvious.

You might also want to put your location in your signature. If another member is close at hand, he MAY be willing to help, if a beer or six is waved under his nose!
Welcome to the site, and DO post your location. A lot of us are willing to come over to help if it's not too far from home, or if it's a NICE ride.Ray Matteis
