    Its rough cosmetically, but it runs great. Some new tires, a new headlight and some more works and it will be good. It was just what I was looking for handling-wise.

    The GS-Twin site (http://gstwin.com/) will be your friend. I also thought I had seen a familiar signature here in the XJ-Bikes forums that I remembered seeing in the GS-Twin forums - someone with great experience/credibility in carb tuning - so he may chime in here too.

    IIRC there was a fairly simple carb mod that really improved the stock factory lean (for emissions) setting. Check out the GS-Twin forums.
