Idle Jets

[MrWheelie]

where can I get idle jets at a fair price, I dont want to go to a dealer

Dealer gonna be your best choice, and they are NOT that expensive, 3 to 4 bucks a piece. You HAVE to use the real Mikuni jets as they are sized correctly for ALL Mikuni carbs. You will have a tuning night-mare if you use any other brand.

guess I can call and get a price, if they are 3-4 $ each thats fine

What about Georgefix on ebay? Doesn't he sell the Mikuni stuff? If he does, I'm sure he'd sell whatever combination you wanted.

George might sell the jets individually, typicallly he just sells kits.

As to genuine Mikuni jets, I disagree on this point. Now, the buyer needs to be aware that there are several versions of the right size and thread of pilot jets. All has to do with the number of holes in the sides of the jets. All of the carbs to our bikes were jetted with the B30/96 style os pilot jets that had 6 total holes in the sides. There is also an N151 style with no holes, and a VM style with 8 holes.

I do understand that some jet mfg use diff numbers to mean diff things, however, I have put K&L kits from Georgefix in both of my bikes and to date, they both run just fine.

I agree completely. My kits were K&L's from Z1, and they worked fine. I think as long as you're buying from a proven reliable source, you should be fine. Just don't expect the everyday jet supplier to know exactly what you need.
