Long story, but I have a 78XS11E and a 79 XS11. The 78 runs like a bat out of hell - very crisp throttle. The 79 was a parts bike but I now have it back together and running. It bogs down under 3K - no where near as crisp and sharp as the 78. I took the carbs off as part of the clean up process and took out the jets and cleaned everything up so nothing is clogged. I adjusted the idle adjuster as it originally would not hold an idel. Is this a pilot jet issue? I have searched through a number of posts and that seems to be the main culprit for these types of issues. When I took out the pilot I could not recognize any type of size marking. Not sure what is stock and if I should try a larger size.
One more thing. The 78 had an aftermarket Kerker, K&N and not sure about jetting, but it would pop a lot on decel. But, it ran great and was like a beast with a twist of the throttle. The 79 is like a flacid weenie below 3K.
