Title: Anyone want to sell me some used stock jets?
Post by: trumpetguy on February 18, 2007, 09:32:35 PM
My bike has been modified by a previous owner.  I want to return to stock jetting (it now has stock air filter and stock exhaust).  I want to try to get better than the 40 mpg I'm getting now.

Does anyone have any stock jets lying around that they're willing to sell me cheap?  OR does anyone want to trade for my jets. I currently have 45 pilots and 130 mains.  I'll pay shipping both ways if someone wants to trade.

Send me a PM if interested.  Thanks!

I have my stock 37.5 pilots sitting here that you can have. Don't know what happened to my mains.

Stock jets ??? with stock filter ... use 40 and 125, mileage may be a shade worse ... but nowhere near as bad as your 130/45 combo ... but 37.5/122.5 wont be all that much better than 40/125.
Having said that ... no freaking clue, cos I never even check mileage on these ... I jet it to run right, not for Mpg.
Do 40/125/1/3 - best of all combo's. Canadian bikes are jetted that way stock.
Cool.

I just checked and I do have a couple sets of them. I will take them to work tomorrow and put them in an ultrasonic cleaner. If ya still need them, let me know.

I've got a set of stockers, but they're for the '01, won't work.

We need to set up a jet exchange. Everyone buys, everyone ends up with jets left over.





We might be better off when we start drilling the damn stockers.
The exchange program will give you the same headaches as right now ... 1000's of 122.5 and 37.5's that people now want to "swap" for jets that work.
I presently have like 50 stock jets ... I bother to pick it up and drill it maybe we have something ... but hey, jets are $3 each, the pain of drilling it and you have to get the right drill size ... then somehow mark it with the size ... PITA ... just toss them.
Cool.

Drilling is not a good idea as you will get swirl marks and that is bad for fuel flow. I have access at work to all of the equipment to modify (jig bore, hone, etc.), verify, and engrave the jets...but like SS said, too much of a hassle.

Thanks for all the responses.  I have replied to several PMs and I appreciate the help.  My nearest Suzuki dealer is almost an hour away and I work about 55-60 hours a week. :dunno_white:
