i tried these cheap jets and they dont flow the same as genuine mikune  jets which are slightly different in internal design .I used these cheapo  in my final tuning on my carbs and ended up with a larger jet number on one carb but actualy a weaker mixture then i had previously, so i went back to factory jets   which arnt much dearer for the accurasy .LOOK up mikuni jets on the net and have a read.

The ad text says "Genuine Mikuni product"   :dunno_black:

I ordered jets from this company...I'll install once my Lunchbox arrives and let you know what I find.  They look like Mikuni to me.  They came in a small non-mikuni plastic bag.  This company probably orders jets in bulk.

The jetsrus.com site claims that genuine mikuni jet will have a "square within a square" symbol stamped on it.

It does say genuine Mikuni product, and the part number is correct and everything. I'll report back when i get them

Please do.  The mikuni symbol looks like this.  I verified it on some genuine jets that I have.



If you are having trouble seeing the symbol...it looks like this:

Confirmed Genuine Mikuni from Niche Cycle Supply.  The square within the square was evident on the top of the jet 180 degrees from the numbered size.  I got out my magnification glass and LED light to check the symbol.

Good to know.  6 bucks a pop with shipping ain't bad.

As much as I really don't like BikeBandit, I did once order jets last fall. $13.65 for 4 pilot jets and $9.72 for 4 main jets. All Mikuni originals in a Mikuni pack. They came in packs of 4.

Except when a parts place will let you buy two. They usually put them in a small ziploc bag so they don't get lost! I found a local place that will sell them individual. They are cheaper online if you can get them shipped for free or cheap, though. The shop sold them for $4.25 a piece.

Bombsquad 83 yes those are genuine mikuni and another way of telling is if you look into the end of the jet you will find that it has a long shiny taper which starts a couple of thou below the slot and when you look from the other end you will find a long taper on the exit as well.  Cheap copys  are done with a drill and dont have this long fine taper  nor the consistant flow characteristic
