OK if the bike is a 89-00 You want 40 non bleeds and 150 large round slotted mains with lunch box.
I actually have a package. Pilots mains, allen bolts, washers. $25 shipped. Have them sitting ready to ship. Allen Bolts are for the float bowls.
I also have 00-06 jets - those will be 20 pilots, 147.5 or 150 mains (depending on what year yours is), washers and allen bolts.
Cool.
Srinath.

a 127.5 is way to small for a lunch box, mabee a 140 -150
a 127.5 would be ok for a drop in filter.
have a look on the wiki for the right size
edit.. sinrath got there first :D
and as always with perfect infomation and a kit to make it easy for you.

And just in time, too. Playing with the choke on startup used to be a novelty, since this is my first riding season. Now, however, the lean jetting is wearing thin on me (pun intended). With my heated grips making colder excursions possible, I want to be rid of the problem. Watching the GS sputter and spew for ten minutes on a chilly morning, I have to wonder at the logic of emissions standards. Anyhow, I run a 2002 K2 (E), with the K + N stock replacement (and restrictor ring). What do you think, Srinath?
