I have found that the jets in most carb kits for XS11s are the wrong size. I get the best results when using only genuine Mikuni parts.

That’s the size I have. Mine have six instead of eight bleed holes. Thanks!

One other thought, be sure the air bleed holes are clear in the emulsion tubes. If they are blocked, clogged ,you will run rich as well.

The air jets on the air cleaner side of the carbs too.

As a part of this, the emulsion tubes are affected by the pressed-in jet in the inlet bell of the carb. Put the carb cleaner straw right up to it and spray. Years ago, I got the new correct Micuni pilot jets and noticed that the outlet holes looked a tiny bit smaller. Could it have been from scouring of the originals? I don’t know, but be prepared to compensate with the pilot screws.

OK. I replaced the slide needles and the emulsion tubes. I'm now at +- 40 mpg. Thanks all!

Hallelujah! Finally got her done. I know you are elated with that result. Just when you thought it would never happen. Congratulations! Lean and mean!

Where did you get these? Were they new and original Mics?

I bought a junk bike from a shop in North Georgia. The odometer shows 20 thousand something miles. The needles have the correct part number on them for my SG. In other words, I had parts in my stash.

XJ4Ever.com has reproduction needles for the XS1100SG. He also has the emulsion tubes. That is the only place I have found those parts. So far, everything I have purchased there has been outstanding. I did not want to spend that much money without knowing I had a fix. Luckily, I had spares on hand. I'll be buying them for the next set of carburetors!

To complete the answer to your question. I believe the needles are $8.95 ea. The emulsion tubes (needle jets) are $24.95 ea, IIRC.
