xs650 jet kits

i put cone air filters on my 1983 yamaha xs650 and the motor chokes out when i krank on the throttle and i believe it needs new jets now.. does anyone know a good site to find the whole kit? and is there any special kind i need?
 
I would suggest going to mikesxs.com or 650central, they both offer jets and jet kits for xs650. If your order from either of the two i would recommend the needle jet kit by heiden tuning its not too expensive and they give you jets new needle and instructions for putting them in. If your like me and have bs34 carbs the slide needle only has one positon and the needle jet kit fixes that.
 
Heres some additional info i pulled from the web if you just want to buy the jets.
Xs650 info.
Carb jetting for aftermarket filters and exhaust:
Main jet: 142.5-147.5
Pilot jet: #45
Air jet: #127.5
idle mixture screw: set @ 2.5-3 turns out.
-sync carbs
- fuel level shut-off in float bowl set high.
 
It's pretty impossible to do anything other than make an edjucated guess. Every bike is different, so the jet requirements can vary, even on the same model of bike. I will give you an example, I just got through re-jetting my XS. It's a 1979, has #135 mains and #27.5 pilots. I installed pod filters and a new 2-1 exhaust system. I changed the jets to #140 mains, #30 pilot, and raised the needle one notch. With this set up it is rsponsive, has no flat spots or other problems. With your bike, if you only changed the filters, and still have the stock exhaust, I would recommend going one step up on mains, one step up on pilots, and raise the needle one notch. that should be a good starting point. If the only problem you have is a stumble when rolling on the throttle, you might try raising the needle one notch before buying any jets. It could be all you need. Remember, to raise the needle, you lower the e-clip, and keep in mind the jets on an 83 are different than those on my 79, but the jetting theory remains the same.

Good luck,
