    I have an 87 XC500 and it has a 38mm Mikuni with 380 main jet, 40 idle jet, 2.5 slide and 6DH2 needle. Runs pretty good and isn't over carbed like back in the day. Anybody running a bigger carb on their 500? If so could you let me know what you are running and how it's jetted? Your location is also important b/c of altitude. thx, Jim J
