Does it look right?  I have no idea... the people at the parts place were morons.

Nope, those are incorrect.  Those are bleeder type pilot jets.  The little holes along the barrel are the bleed holes, they will make it too rich.  You want to order non-bleeder type pilts jets from Sudco.  Search 'Sudco pilot part' for the part number.

Edt: Or, rather, have them order from Sudco; if they can.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

can you explain to me how they're determined to be "Bleeders".... I understand its the holes, but they just allow to much fluid?

I'm confused now, because this post actually says that 2001+ need a bleed pilot.

Get out your wrenches and
Pull your jets out so you can compare them.

My 89 had the nonbleeding type. 
They were so clogged when I took them out you couldn't even tell there was a hole in the center.

thanks for the part numbers, but that doesn't tell me bleeder or non bleed, or if what I have is right.


and I'm too lazy to pull my tank off to pull a jet to see if what I have is right... just to put it back on to go to work in 7 hours.

If you're really good you could drop one of the bowls and get to the jet without pulling the tank.
course all those fairings may get in the way.
that's why it's usually better to be naked.
