    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I suspect I am running lean.

'83 650L, just threw on some K&N's, emgo shortys, and did the Dynojet stage 3 rejet. I also wrapped my exhaust with fiberglass wrap. The bike idles and runs great. There is no backfiring when downshifting, just a very slight crackle. I don't have a pic of my plugs nor did I actually cut them, but just at a glance I think they are just a hair too white. Also, it just feels like my bike is running hotter but I don't know if this is due to the fiberglass wrap. The hotter running temps make me think I am a bit lean. I installed the 160 jets that came with the kit but I am not sure if I should try some 165's. I am pretty new to carbs, is there a way I can richen things a bit by adjusting a screw or needle spacer or is the only way to go up in my main jet?

Thanks guys, you never fail me!
 
Do you have baffles?
I''d try richening the needle one notch. (put the clip on one notch towards the emulsion tube end.
 
Since the needle controls the fuel flow between the 1/8 thru 3/4 range I think I will move my needle down 1 notch.
