Complete how to for rejetting the carb on any XV250 model. For my bike with K&N air filter and drag pipes I found a 120 main and 20 idle jet worked best. I don't recommend you buy the 6 sigma jet kit. Far too expensive for what is included.

"A Small Chance To Send Targets Flying"
Legend! Thank you so much for posting! I spent quite a lot of time back and fort on the wiring. Then I found your video. Exact same issue on my 1995’s XV 750. I owe you a beer! 😉
For your information, those are not philips screws but JIS. The screwdrivers are different. You can manage without but it'll work better with the right screwdrivers. The risk is to slide and ruin the screw head. You can recognize the JIS because you have this little round point next to the X cross on the head of the screw. Look it up on google to learn the why of the JIS existence VS Philips.
Question??? On each Cylinder you adjust the valves. Do you have to have each cylinder TDC. First Cylinder TDC than adjust the valves. Sec. Cylinder turn to TDC and than adjust the valve. Anybody respone Correct or Not.
@@twilli8118 yes. Whichever cylinder is being adjusted needs to be at TDC on its compression stroke. Otherwise there will be tension on the valves and you cannot get proper measurements. Set TDC on front, adjust front. Set TDC on back, adjust back.
So funny, I had the same problem and last night made the connection that it might have something to do with my starter switch, then today woke up and stumbled onto this video. Small world lol 😊. Thanks for posting!
what does putting shim washers in the needle do ? increase fuel, or decrease
@@rplagas shimming the needle will set the needle higher in the hole. This makes more clearance for gas to go through. It increases gas in the mix mainly in mid throttle.
This guy knows his stuff and will save one a lot of time. Mine had the same problem. Also, be careful which screws you choose to open the headlight bay if you do. The two that are visible are headlight adjusting screws. Do not unscrew them all the way, you will see why when you open the light bay using the other two screw at the bottom and harder to spot. They are the ones that you unscrew if you need to get into the light bay. Good luck. Thanks, helloish12321 for saving me so much time, good video.
Tank yo❤
Sounds good for a 250!
Thanks a lot !
Brilliant video! May ask if you had any fuel issues..did it affect you mpg . Kind regards Ryan
@@ryandavis6660 The bike ran strange after putting the pipes on until I re jet the carb. After the rejet it runs great. Definitely lost some mpg but the bike is quicker
@@helloish12321thank you for the reply
@6:24 why did you mark the disc brake maybe a silly question but I wanna know thanks and thank you for your video. It’s been very helpful.
It was probably not necessary. I just knew the disc was old and if there was any uneven wear I wanted to keep it at the same spot of the wheel. It also let me know which side faced out.
I’m following your video for the same bike- I bought it as project giving to my grandson. Is it possible to not remove the disk and still get the tire and tube using the reverse side?
@@JimmieGonzalez-r7b yes the tire can come off without removing the disc but there is the possibility of warping or damaging it while you pry and press on the wheel to mount the tire
@@helloish12321 that makes sense- I followed your petcock valve and carb clean also
I appreciate all of your demos.
Thanks for the really helpful advice !
Great video
Great Video!! Thank you!! Really like the voice over instructions!!
Where can I get those pipes?
Too bad the people making them don't use measuring equipment before the welder😂
Thank you🙏
Just subbed
Hey there what is the benefit of replacing jets? As to just cleaning debris a gunk out of the old ones and reusing?
Hey man I’m having this issue as well, did you ever get any check engine codes when you put the car into diag mode? Thanks
@@joematsuura I had some codes but they were not related. If you follow the instructions in the description it will get you all set. A digital external tach may be needed
I've got 20 and 115 jet and the air fuel screw doesn't do anything
check your engine 13KW or 16KW. in 13kw you need to change camshafts to see any difference in changing jets
Thank you for this video. Super helpful!
Great video. Keep it up. You are very good at making this kind of content.
I might of missed it but did he drill that thing out and put the wood thing in and pull it out? Or did he advise against that?
You will need access to that adjustment screw that is hidden behind the brass cap on factory carbs. I had previously drilled mine out so I could not demonstrate. It's fiddly and you have to be careful not to go too far but it can be done in about half an hour
@@helloish12321 thanks I have almost enough money for my bike so I’m just trying to learn. I’m at 1500 feet, can you recommend me which jets to use?
@@helloish12321 let me trouble you once more, is anything extra needed to put a k n air filter?
@@Balithazzarr the main jet in the kit is the one most will use. Idle jet might take some trial and error. I use a 20 at sea level. For the k&n air filter I would go to the hardware store and get another nut to use as a jam nut for the filter. Mine fell off several times from vibration. Other than that it's just drop in
@@helloish12321 awesome, thanks for being so helpful
Do you have the link of amazon for buy it??
I did but those listings tend to change. It's the first result when you search xv250 exhaust. They are also everywhere on eBay.
Does the re jetting do the same thing as a thorough cleaning? I'm new to this.
The jets are the brass parts that gas flows through to mix with air and go into the engine. There are typically 2; a main jet and idle jet. The larger the hole in the jet the more gas goes in. The jets with bigger numbers have larger holes. You can use this guide to help take out your factory jets to clean them but if your bike is stock (no intake or exhaust work done) then you don't need to change the sizes. If you do intake or exhaust work then you get more air in and need to adjust the jets accordingly.
@@helloish12321 ok thanks. My daughters 2013 v star 250 sat for a long time. It'll start barely but gas is flowing out air box area. I assume this is stuck float? Etc. your video is very clear thanks.
@@desotopete mine had the same issue. Stuck float or bad float height. Start with the float and make sure to clean all jets as well as the idle air mix screw. That circuit gets clogged very easy and it will never idle right
@@helloish12321 thanks a million. Your video gave very clear description and instructions about the carb. Good editing.
Direction of flow is down, not up.
Just got my 125 virago (first real bike) and love how clear your information and video is that's awesome bud
put the outer clutch plate on loosely then tighten down the nut and rotate the outer clutch plate so it pushes against the worn then set the spring tension. Clutch wont fall apart that way.
do you know hat the holes in the pinion are so you can put oil on the sleeve without disasembely?
I was told that by the previous mechanic, but I would have repeat clutch problems from oil getting out and into the clutch. Maybe I just used too much but I found more reliability when applying manually.
Mine had this exact problem, saved me lots of headaches thanks man
Have to say Thank You!! I pulled my bike out this spring and it's not running well. It has always had a terrible cold idle, wanting to stumble for the first mile or two of riding. Always wanted to tear carb apart and check or change jetting. This video helps me out tremendously!! I never knew what jets sizes to even look for!! Thanks a Million!!
How coming does a big bore kit on the bike and kicks it up to a 350cc 😢
I think there used to be some kits available that went to 285cc. The problem is the bore of the case isn't wide enough for the piston skirt to travel all the way down so without boring out the case the kit can only get to 285
Thank you for a nice video. 👍🏻
Plz update one more video that 1st pin falling wen spoting time

Excellent maintenance keep update every part of video thank u
The two clips do not squeeze easily. He didn’t show it. Be prepared.
Oh yeah they are a pain. Just wanted it to be a short video since it's not a complicated procedure and most other videos take way too long
Double and triple check the welds on the mounting brackets. The bracket welds or bad redo the bracket welds.
Im looking forward to do this on my 2023 vstar 250, best video to take notes from and learn, thank you so very much .
I found the square end of the valve adjustment is the same size as a Robertson screw, so I put a screw in a knob of wood to use as a homemade adjuster tool. Great video, and I don’t even have a 250 Virago.
That's a great tip. I struggled trying to find a wrench to fit it and settled with pliers, which is very fiddly of course. I'll keep it in mind.
How many turns out did you set your mixture screw? I’m having trouble setting mind and I just wanna ballpark it for now. Thanks!
Without checking my bike I think I currently have it at 4 or so turns out. This is at sea level with a 20 idle jet.
Thanks bud. Went to go adjust my valves since I couldn’t go above 50mph. Just bought it, thought adjustment was just whack. Was getting good spark etc both sides. Pistons both moving. Turns out the first cylinder timing sprocket sheared off and tried to get sucked down into the engine! I only had one cylinder! So in theory your video saved me a big headache that is now the dealerships headache until it’s ready for me for real this time, Altho I just got my license yesterday and I’m sad I can’t ride it to work in this pretty weather! I can’t believe it ran at all let alone to 50mph with a loose chain and only one cylinder!
Damn that's a bummer! Glad you got it sorted out. Was it a used bike?
Yes. I think 3 owners. The last lady had it for 2 years and sold it. I bet she had that problem that whole time. The dealership never took it above 2nd gear so they didn’t notice the power drop, rode it all day yesterday trying to find why it wouldn’t accelerate above 3rd. 4th and 5th were basically useless. Then took off that timing chain cover off and bam. It’s was sheared right off with the bolt sitting on top of it.
Great video. Do you have the exact Amazon kit sku/item number that you show here? Thank you in advance.
Good video but maybe record your next away from a busy road.
Was only the 3rd or so video I had made like this. I started doing a voice over afterwards
Good video but maybe record your next away from a busy road.
VERY nice video! I'm looking at $350 from the local bike shop. My main hesitation was removing the carburetor because of the limited space and everything connected to it. Your video showed me I can do it without taking out the carb. Thanks SO much!
What is the gas mileage with the jet kit and different exhaust system? How many miles are on your motorcycle? I like small motorcycles and want one that will last forever, even if it is kept stock. Yamaha has a good reputation for reliability. Do you think one of these would make a great motorcycle for a couple of decades of riding for perhaps 100,000 miles?
From what I understand smaller motorcycles don't last as long as large ones. Overstressed engines and all that. Also this being air cooled doesn't help. I have almost 10k on mine with no severe issues. Only the usual 15 yo outside kept motorcycle things. I consider it very reliable so far and its an old simple design. Not a lot to go wrong. Completely stock I got routinely 72 mpg. After the pipes and rejet it went down quite a bit to low 50s. I was running a Chinese aftermarket carb and swapped back to the OEM mikuni and once I got that completely dialed in I get high 50s. It's a large mpg drop but the bike feels much faster afterwards.
Thank you for your information. It was helpful. @@helloish12321
crazy that yamaha made that top pipe a fake exhaust... Great info! Sounds Great
The whole stock exhaust is a goofy design. Probably had to meet strict noise regulations somewhere else in the world.
@@helloish12321I’ve heard some people order the ones from webike.
