I had the KJS system from Ken Staples in Canada on 3 of my Viragos, LOVED IT

My first street bike was a virago. It was a damn fine machine. Great memories

Hi Thad, Congratulation! You take the best Choice for that Setup with one Carb. I ride for 5 Years with it and I dont want an other Setup then that. I am Happy with that. Perfect done by KJS. Ken is the best. Greets Max

Wow,niiiice idle and start!

Informative video, thank you.

I am going to get one of these kits for my 91' Virago XV 750..I like the clean look and less tuning nightmares! Your bike looks and sounds amazing with this setup ! Thanks for the awesome video !

Just put it on my 82 920. Man what a change. It works great. I recommend it.

@t has a tm40-6 that you uses your stock cables and has a tps system on it and comes with a configered carb for your bike from 400cc 500cc 535cc 650cc vstar and 700cc 750cc 920cc 1000cc and 1100 cc viragos and vstars your bike sounds great and i love your video

She sounds like one engine instead of two independent Good job

Glad that investment paid off .

BRAVO !!!!

Does that motor bolt up to the 81 through 83 frame? Sounds amazing btw!

Looks great! I'm gonna do this to my V star

Nice video Thad, I just converted my 1987 xv 1100 with the KJS system but need to buy a duel cable system as the throttle does not close fast enough with the single cable. I need to find out where to buy one, any suggestions. Thanks, Steve

I did mine for under $200 worth copper street connections and a Chinese carburetor and it runs great

Great video! Im ordering mine in february 👌 Is yours the composite one?

I know is being a long time since this video, but I'm having a hard time with my cheapo single carb intake that runs a longer leg to the rear cylinder and I always have my front cylinder running lean and the rear spark plug reach and never get the same color spark plug. When you check your spark plugs are they look the same with this intake or the front always will be leaner ?

Very nice work, How much you spend on this modification? Cheers.

where did you connect you vacuum for the carb? need help here

What is Kens website and does he give step by step instructions for the KJS system?

Hay guys carburetor question. I have a 85 yamaha virago xv1000 converted to single carb using a Mikuni HS40. You think a 42.5 pilot jet is to big?

How did you get rid of your vacuum line and cover?

Hi man so fine i have a issues whit the dam carbs so where do you buy the manifold,!?

How did that KJS work out over the long run.I'm getting ready to make the jump but dont want to get the wrong setup>

hei hwer do the vacum snake on the carburetor go?

Got a kjs intake on my 85 virago 1000 it was on it when I got it cud box was bad and main jet bored way to big iv had it 6 years run great

what jet sizes you runnning?

I'm thinking of buying this. would you recommend?

Which Fuel jets you have used

What are your jet sizes? Greetings from Germany

Have you got any links to buy the parts

where did you that manifold?

kool

@Thad Mandin can you tell me which K&N air filter are you using. It seems that this Mikuni Carb has 40 mm diameter for the air income but this style filter you are using has 57mm tube. Did you use some additional rubber in between?

I have the same set but don't know where to connect hoses to what

Where did you purchase it

Hello ; thanks for all the informations, i have a request that is i have a Virago XV 1100 model 1996 with a bad carburator so is it possible to get the carburator i saw in this video by the way i am from Morocco Marrakech i belong to the association ATLAS RIDERS Marrakech. how can i get it and how much it costs and i thank ypu so much for your good informations and help and welcome to Marrakech. yours Mohammed.

good evening sir! are you aware of the jetting of this carburator??

Donde se pude comprar esa admision ?

What intake is that?

Hello do you still have this bike?

Did not have to dial in the carburetor yourself at all ? Does KJS fine tune carb per order like a 750 vs a 1100 and exhaust type info etc? Looks and sounds fantastic BTW !

Qué carburador es exactamente?

Where you order it from?

are you from calgary?

Can this setup be fed by gravity bypassing the fuel pump?

Possibly dumb question, does the air filter not get in the way of your leg when it's on the pegs?

So Thad, how is this system still performing a year or so in? im thinking about spending the cash for one.

Does he still make these ? Tried contact him through email for my virago xv 1000 but no reply , is he still in buisness ?

hola amigo donde puedo adquirir ese kit de arana y carburador gracias

Hey where did u get that fillter at

Hey Thad, I’m looking to purchase a jks setup for my virago, do you have a contact # for Ken’s shop?

Possibly dumb question , are you aware of the jetting of this carburator??I am fighting with the same carbarator, but the air filter is always on fire
