So I have been struggling getting my bike to run 'right'. I had cleaned the carbs a bunch of times. Tried working with what the PO did, they had changed the main jet to 130 (from 125 stock). Didn't run well. Added some washer/shims to the needle jet as well. That helped open throttle, and midrange. But, when cruising, it still hesitated. Added the GM Coil mod. Made it run better, still had the hesitation.
Then I got new pilot/slow jets. Stock was 38. Bumped up to 45. It's like a while new bike. I got low end power like never before. It's like everything finally has clicked.
I'm gonna do some riding, and check the plugs. But I'm feeling optimistic.
So, recommend changes for pod filters and a more open exhaust. I removed the baffles off the stock mufflers:
Main jet: 130
Pilot jet: 45
Needle jet: add one shim per side
If anyone has any feedback, feel free to respond
Note: these are the single main jet carbs VB2F, not the VB21/22.
