So VM30 carbs I got from Dime City (supposed to be jetted for CL360) came with a 200 main jet and a 25 pilot in one carb and a 250 main and 40 pilot in the other carb. I didn't find this out untill after riding the bike about 40 miles and adjusting the needles a few times before opening them up. It actually ran better then you would think but it had a huge bog in the mid range.
CrazyPJ gave me some great jetting info and here's where I'm at right now.
Installed 150 mains, 30 pilots and drilled the 1/16th" hole in the "hood" on the primary choke. The bike ran MUCH better right away but still had a little hesitation in the mid range so I moved the needle clip up from the 4th position to the third (middle). That made it better so I moved it up one more and it got better again. There's only one more clip position left (top) but I think I might go ahead and move it up to that one and try it again. I'm wondering if I might need the 145 mains? I'll let you guys know once I get it dialed.
Funny thing happened while test riding, a cop followed me home and pulled up to my drive way as I got of the bike, he just wanted to check out my bike! He was pretty cool and said he has four RD400's and that he liked the bike. Pleasant conversation and he left after that.
