Using different pilot jets

I've been having problems with my bike overheating and the revs going way up when i come to a stop.  I suspected it was running lean.  I was told when i bought the bike it was rejetted back to stock, but when i pulled the pilot jet out it was 32.5.  I went to my motorcycle dealer today to replace them with 40's but they don't have the nonbleeder type.  Do the other ones work or should i order them from bike bandit or something?

Also when adjusting the airbleed screw, do i turn both screws the same amount when checking or do one carb at a time?

I wouldn't suggest using bleeders.  just order them or find a different shop.

Order non-bleeders, Bike Bandit or Sudco are the best places.

Set both carb air mixture screws the same amount of turns at the same time.
Common sense in not very common.

Non bleeders!  I  put in 40 bleeders, assured by the shop they would be fine. WRONG.

See thread "Low speed trouble after rejet" from yesterday.

OK from my experience... 40 non bleed = 37.5 bleeders...
Cool.
