The key is that your bike will start when it's warm. My guess is that you'd have an easier time with a slightly larger slow jet in the carb.


Gents, I have the same motor in my XL, and I can only agree fully with Weldangrind on the pilot jet. My bike starts everytime, easily, no choke :-) - no joke -, as I have a size 30 pilot in my mikuni; that s with a (pod) unifilter and an open exhaust. And it does get cold here, too, down to 16 C at night , but still, with a lean pilot these motors seem to take half an hour to warm up.

Right now, you probably have the equivalent of a 20 in there and I think you could easily go up to a 25 with the standard airfilter - but size numbers vary between manufacturers, so the stamp on your pilot jet may say sth different.
