What year bike do you have?  If it's 89-2000, you want  N151.067-40 non-bleeding jets.

its a 01' and the stock  pilot jet is a bleeder so I think I have to replace it with the same otherwise how will it screw in?

I have used the VM28. I believe the 2 are the same though. They all have different part numbers on different catalogs. For example - the non bleeds for the 89-00 N151.067 - I have to order them as 42-7130. Else I get the wrong crap. My dealer monkeys have trained me to ask for that, and I have trained then to not screw up after I ask for that. You'd think that's part of normal training, but in fact it took longer for them to learn that than it did for me ...  O0 ... there is like 12 of them and their stupidity feeds off each other. So either or ... what ever they will want.
Cool.

It gets very confusing for me that these parts don't always have the same numbers across catalogues. Makes it tough to get the right thing on the first try you know? They sure look the same from the pictures. Thanks for the input.
