It is generally accepted that CV carbs need a jet kit, such as a DynoJet kit, when installing pods. The needles need a different curve, need to be adjustable, the diaphram needs to be drilled, and a few other changes that are done when pods are installed.

the diaphram needs to be drilled

I think you mean the slides, you would not want to drill holes in the rubber diaphrams.

My bad.
You are correct; one of the drill bits that comes in the kits is for the slides. The other drill bit is for the air jet correctors.

K & N pods and stock exhaust on a GS650...

120 main jets if you run below 5,000' and 117.5's if you run higher.
Adjust the fuel screws to fine tune. Done.

You have already adjusted the valves, cleaned the carbs and re-sealed the intake manifolds... right?

That is NORMAL MAINTENANCE. Yes, you need to adjust the valves every 4000 miles, according to Suzuki.

"Re-sealing the intake manifold" is actually just replacing the o-rings between the intake boots and the manifold. Chances are that the original o-rings are still in there, so new ones are probably in order. They only need to be changed every 20 or 30 years, so it's not an expensive proposition.

If you have not yet rebuilt the carbs, they probably need their o-rings changed, too, so just get them all from cycleorings.com. A complete set of o-rings for the carbs and intake boots, along with new screws to hold the boots in (the original screws are basically crap) will set you back less than $25.
