It doesn't specify exactly what its giving you. Therefore it wont be optimised for all bike setups. I assume it is designed for a stock 2001+ GS500 or GS500F
If you tell us more about your bike (year, modifications) we can tell you what you should be looking at getting.
My bike is a 2007 GS500F i have the Jardine RT-1 full exhaust and i will be getting the pod K&n's soon (confussed about it though) since the manual says there is only one filtre but people say there are two? Anyways, i have alreayd noticed a huge gain in torque from my exhaust ( i can almost lift the front end shifting from first - second) so yah...that is my bike, ive read up on wiki and searched the forms etc. But still a little confussed about the jet kits...so i saw this one and grabbed it, it seemed liek the easiest way to go...anyways any help would greatly be appriciated.

If you check the Wiki , The Pods Are 2 , as there to two outlets on the carbs . the lunchbox connects both . and the stock airbox is a single drop in filter , but the airbox conects to both outlets

Don't get that kit then.
20 - 65 - 145
That's a good base to work from.
Mikuni Jets
Pilots: 2 x N224.103 #20
Mid Mains: 2 x N102.221 #65
Mains: 2 x N102.221 #145
(you'll need two of each ie. 1 for each carburettor)
and the K&N Filter you want is a RU-2970 lunchbox type.

SO if i went out and bought that kit online i think those are only main jets. So i might need to follow the poor mans jet way at wiki? anyways...will there be a huge problem if i don;t do all jets?
If that kit is only 2 jets and 2 shims, they should be shot for marketing it as a jet kit.
at the bare minimum it should have the shims and new jets for you pilot, mid-main, and main circuits.
Galahs suggestion sounds like a good starting point and you can get jets from your local Suz dealer for about 2.50 a piece.
When that kit arrives tell us what is included, the jet size should be etched on either the head or side of each jet.
OK thanks guys i appriciate the help. It will be about 1-2 weeks im guessing.
