    We need to know which pods you have, and which exhaust.

        get yourself a dynojet stage 3 kit
        1978 GS1085.

        Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

            you could spend hours messing around with jets and get it fairly close, or fit the DJ kit and you will be a lot closer to start with. its the DJ needles that are the magic answer.
            its well worth the money

              Those are VM carbs. There is no DynoJet kit for them and they do not need one. Use this: Mikuni tuning manual

                  I stand corrected, there is a kit for the 1000 only.
                  I stand by my statement, however, that the manual tells how to jet without the DynoJet kit.
