In this video, I remove, inspect, clean, rebuild, and reinstall the carburetors on my **1977 Yamaha XS650**. I’ll also show how I remove the **factory airbox to access the carburetors**, what I found inside the carbs, and the process of putting everything back together. ⚠️ *IMPORTANT 1977 XS650 PILOT JET WARNING* One thing I learned during this job: don’t automatically assume the *1978–79 XS650 pilot jet setup* is correct for a **1977 XS650**. These carburetors may look very similar, but there are important differences between model years. Always verify the correct pilot jet type and specification for your exact carburetor before changing the jetting. 🔧 In this video: • 1977 Yamaha XS650 carburetor removal • How to remove the XS650 airbox • Carburetor disassembly • Cleaning and inspecting the carbs • Checking the pilot jets • 1977 vs 1978–79 XS650 carb differences • Reassembling the carburetors • Installing the carbs and airbox back on the bike • Common XS650 carburetor mistakes to avoid If you’re restoring, maintaining, or troubleshooting a vintage Yamaha XS650, I hope this video saves you some time — and maybe saves you from making the same jetting mistake.
