If you want 40 pilots,  I believe the part number is N151.067. I have 2 left over from my pack of 4 (non-bleeder) that I'll sell for a few bucks or whatever the cost me.

yes i would like those jets. let me know how i should get the money to you. how did your bike respond to the new jets and how far out do you have the mixture screws turned out and whats your main jet size?

OK.  I think I paid $15 (?) for 4.  So 8 bucks oughta cover the parts plus postage.  Let me double check when I get home and I'll p-mail you the details.

As far as the resuts... HUGE difference.  Most say new springs should be the first mod, but having done both, I think rejet should be right up there, or at least a close second on the US bikes.  Throttle response was crap before and the huge flat spot in the rpms around 3500-5000 or whatever is gone.  It's like the bike was broken before.  I used 125 mains.

I did take me a little while to sort out the mixture... but I think I finally got it pretty good.  I started at 3 turns out as most suggest and continued out from there, but couldn't get the idle right and it seemed to be lean.  After a lot of fiddling and some serious use of the SEARCH button, I tried turning the screw in, and now I'm around 2-2.5 turns out and so far, so good.  I think it was KevinC's method that I used (thanks!) to adjust the mixture.

I balanced the carbs while I was at it to make sure that wasn't throwing me off. (actually had a question about that... will probably post on that later)  Not sure how that was affecting things, but they were definately out of sync.
