My estimate is its still running a bit rich. In second gear at 5 to 6.5 rpm she bucks and spits and then smooths out.

Hell, even if there slide carbs, then get a JetKit, just makes things soooo much easier.

I have a 83 csr 650 that is running good but still is sucking gas mileage at an estimated 70 miles a tank full. I believe I have a 2.8 gals. a tank. So what I like to hear what you think about the carb setting should be. She'll be in the shop on friday to set the carbs. It also has pods new, and a Mac header new.
My estimate is its still running a bit rich. In second gear at 5 to 6.5 rpm she bucks and spits and then smooths out.
If you put a stock airbox on it and have MAC pipes with the standard baffle, it will be very easy to jet. probably stock jets or one size rich will run perfect. An airbox is probably cheaper than a jet kit and will save a whole lot of time.

70 miles on a tank? I haven't ridden a 650, but on my 900 that means I'm loosing fuel somewhere other than the combustion chamber/exhaust. I'm loosing fuel out the float overflow periodically.

Good point DD. my kz1200 gets 100 miles per 15 liters.
