Hi!

I finally found some online sites that seem to carry all sorts of Mikuni jets.


http://www.rageperformance.com/carburetorparts.asp
http://www.motorcyclecarbs.com/mikuni/mik_jets.htm#Main%20Jets

However - one of those sites lists two types of large round Mikuni Jets:

- N100.604 (http://www.rageperformance.com/images/n100604-1.gif)

- VM11/22 (http://www.rageperformance.com/images/mikmain4.gif)

This photo is shown with the VM11/22:

Does anyone know which is good for the GS?

Thanks, D.

PS: I'm adding a couple of URLs:

http://www.sudco.com/
http://shop.thumpertalk.com

These carry Mikuni jets too - and ThumperTalk is cheaper then others.($2.25 per jet)...

You want the large round jets, Mikuni part #N100.604.  The small jets won't work on our bikes.  Also, make sure you get the non-bleeder pilot jets, I think they're part #N151.067.  I got all my jets from sudco.  They were around the same price.

Thanks, I'm ordering right now! :)

What is the difference between bleeder and non-bleeder pilot jets? I wasn't going to replace pilot jets as they are already size 40 - but I don't know what type they are - how do I tell?

Thanks, D.

I expect Kerry has photos of these(and they may show up in this thread :roll: ), but, the bleeder pilot jets have holes along the length of them.

Hi, I have a little problem...

I was ordering my set of jets at http://shop.thumpertalk.com and when I was finalizing the order, the shipping costs were estimated at $120+:eek

Maybe I got it wrong, but a set of 20 main jets should still make a very light and small package and $120 shipping is - well, too much.

Now the question - is there a volunteer US resident that would order the main jets for me and send them over via cheapest, normal snail mail?

 Thanks, D.

PS: I'm still waiting for Sudco.com's reply  to get their estimate on costs (jets+tool+shipping), so there's no rush.
