RE: throttle or carb problems

For drilling out the mains? no
These are the stock carbs?

Yes, just replace the main jets, check the pilots to confirm that they are also stock.

RE: throttle or carb problems

What do your spark plugs tell you? (i.e. what color is the deposit?)

RE: throttle or carb problems

The manual should have it listed. You can also check out sudco.com for your jet size. I know that they have diagrams there also.

RE: throttle or carb problems

In my kz750 manual, the carbs are Mikuni BS38's. So am not sure if the 650 will have the same.
