just wanted to say hi and thanks for the forum . I am also a member of 305.com , and know how valuable everyones experience is for a poor boy like me to keep em goin . I bought a 96 LS650 for 1400 and a 4 hour round trip to get . what I could tell seemed ok , when got home and went for better ride I was freekin . the bike wouldn't go above 25 miles . seemed like it was runnin on water . so I held er open for a bit and white smoke started pourin out . figured I was screwed and started lookin for forums and engines .ended up here and started my studies . rode it close to home and it seemed to improve little by little .turned out it was way overfull on oil , used some b12 chemtool I think it was and it straightened the carb right up .cleaned all oil from filter box and filter . runs great now just need to get biiger main jet I think . did the raptor and read about chain tensioner , bike has 5000 miles on it so I think I got time till needed . this winter I think . corbin on way as I don't like the gel pad I got . anyone have suggestions as to things for me to look for or need checked on ? flat ground 76 miles an hour in 5th gear seems to be all she got . stock exhaust , fine by me even though it sounds like a bird chirpin ( the bike is yellow) did the full throttle in 5th gear and let off a bit and she picks up slightly ,I'm in ohio at 900 feet elevation . po says orig and seems so to me , so I assume 47.5 on main and I should get a 50 and 52.5 to play with carb? since idle , low and all seem good can I change only main jet for a bit more top end and to not be lean ? have noticed if I pull choke out a bit she seems a little happier though I don't ride with it open , just mssin around tryin to wrap my head aroud her .carries me and my wife much better than my 66 Honda 305 dream . thanks for ideas and any help/thoughts .
