    Well, looks like if you have all the mains out of those carbs, surely don't need more.......BTW, 112.5 mains ARE the stock main jet size for the XJ's. Your SF would have the early carbs using, IIRC, 137.5 mains......if the bike still has the earlier carbs on it. Guess that source would work fine if you have no local dealer or motorcycle accessory shop nearby. Price IS a bit cheaper locally for me here, and I know I'm getting Genuine Mikunis eye-balling the Mikuni logo on them, not K&L's or some other off-brand.
    Yep, got the mains out and changing the size to compensate for pipes and single K&N filter...
    And living in a one horse town, driving 120 round trip to Austin isn't cost effective...

        FYI, and for the multitude of others, these are genuine Mikuni jets per the order desk who I spoke to this AM,
        so if this can save someone who lives in the sticks a little money, then great, if not, well
        The only down side to this site is they don't have them above 137.5 in odd sizes(i.e. 142.5--147.5 etc)
        But for the even sizes, you want'em, they've got'em...

            It's getting harder to get the genuine jets and those prices are pretty good.

                Mikuni still produces these jets and they are still currently used on production bikes.
