Last summer I bought a 85 Vmax that was used mainly for drag racing. The bike is fitted with Keihin flatslides. I am not happy with the performance of the bike and think its a result of the carbs. The bike is very soft at low RPM's but awesome on top. Since I ride mainly on the road, I would like a setup that hits hard at low RPM's. Can the Keihin's be tuned to be responsive at low RPM's or will I be better off to replace them. thanks for any input.

They have problems being wacked open. You would be best served to swap them out with the stock carbs and maybe one of my jet kits. Email me and I can see what kind of trade deal we can work out.
You'll get better mileage, won't smell like fuel, and easier starting. Plus you won't really give up that much overall power.
