.003" intake and .006" exhaust will work for any year, assuming a stock cam.

Congrats,
I like to set the exhaust at .005" . This prevents the engine from the normal slow to idol reaction when you decellerate. I suggest you try the .003 and .006 at first but if your engine has a slow response in the down direction, try the exhaust at .005".
Remember to set the valve clearances when the engine is cold. "Not run for several hours". I prefer over night.
Happy riding,
Bob

Damn, a '98 XS, I'd like to see that, and a one lunger too. Probably the 1000cc version only sold overseas. Btw. Welcome aboard.
