Asking what you guys think would be a starting point for jetting a stock 1980 LTD 100 equipped with a Kerker 4in1 exhaust. Just purchased the bike along with a new Kerker.

If it has stock air box no jetting should be necessary. Why do you want to re-jet? Is the bike not running well? You Have to do all maintenance adjustments first before you can think about tuning. Valve lash, timing, compression test. Maybe the carbs just need a good cleaning. Check that you have a fully charged and in good condition battery. Aslo need to know you have 12.6 volt at the primary of the coils... lots to check before you try to tune.

I have an '80 LTD. Right now it has a Z1 airbox and a 4/1 exhaust. I have a set of '76 carbs on it with stock jetting. It runs just fine.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.
