The 78-79's were the quicker years.......EPA interferred with that for the 80 and later models, but they ended up with a bit more botttem-end/mid-range 'grunt' in the trade-off for what they lost on the top-end.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.

Sounds to me like the carbs are a bit rich at low rpm., heard that gurgle when I first gave it some gas ? I think the needles are set a bit rich ?
