    hey man, i appreciate all the help. i found some carbs on ebay off of an 07 model. will make an offer. the color on my bike is dark blue & white with red pin strip seperating the two. according to the vin number & engine & model numbers this bike was a California edition or specific bike? pegscraper will probably be hearing from me if and when i get the parts together for this project. this bike is already modified with an big air kit, and dyna 3000 ignition. runs stronger than some of the others i have rode from the same era. poor fuel economy though. i added a stock windshield and a solo look with a mustang fender bib. also a nice radiator grill cover i found on ebay. like the new look. will get some pics together.

    thanks pegscraper, very detailed and informative. i don't know if i am as handy as you, but i think it would be worth a try. and i like a challenge! is there certain year venture carbs that would work better than others or are they the same?

    if i find some 32mm carbs in good shape sometime in the future, i was wandering how easily or difficult it is to adapt these to a 1996 rsstd? what other parts would i need to purchase or look for used, and what other tech tips will i need to know? any and all input will be appreciated. i know that this enhancement is supposed to make a major difference, and if i keep the bike, which i probably will, i will try to do this task. thanks, Mark.

    thanks everybody, yea, i was hoping to get by with an easy fix. i didn't want to get into all that work or make things worse with my less than expert skills on carbs. but with help from these forums i may just have to tear into them. people i have talked to locally say if idling is good, runs decent and the plugs look good, don't mess with the carbs, but by the same token i like to know my bike is set up right! i wonder if ignition adjustment would help anything? that would be an easy adjustment. checking the mixture screws would also be easy?

    hey, thanks. lean mixture would be jetting or ignition setting? thanks for the comment. believe it or not i only gave $3950. for her! and with newer metzler :happy34:tires! have since put on a stock windshield and a solo look with a fender bib.

    got a deal on a 96 rsstd w/only 9k miles this summer! been a blast to ride! previous owner installed a dyna 3000, and a barrons big air kit, and aftermarket slip ons. my only issues have been exhaust popping, mainly during warm up, but also during ride when downshifting. and poor fuel economy. about 95miles and i am switching to reserve. ignition is set at 6500 rev limit and curve 4. plugs look good and she idles smooth. any input would be appreciated. thanks.
