Title: Has anyone ever tried this jet kit?
Post by: SS Adrenaline on February 12, 2012, 01:46:19 PM
Like the title says.  Anyone think they are worth it, any experiance with them.  It sounds pretty good.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Suzuki-GS500F-GS-500F-500-F-cc-6-Sigma-Custom-Carburetor-Carb-Stage-1-3-Jet-Kit-/330673119462?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item4cfda760e6#ht_3018wt_689

Let us know.

I am going to rejet for exhaust and intake mods, I email budda for a price of the jets I want.  He hasnt gotten back to me, I think hes been busy.  Maybe this kit would be a good alternative to regular jets.

I haven't used this kit...but it indicates drilling Is required which I've heard is disputed (similar to the dynojet kit which also requires drilling and is not a popular kit for the gs which I discovered when I was getting ready to rejet). If you are wanting a nme brand kit The factory pro kit I've heard is good else wait for buddah jets (which I have) which were inexpensive and require no drilling. I'm by no means an expert but I would pass here if it were me. It's kinda an expensive kit too.

Thanks for the post and great info.
I wasnt really into the whole drilling thing, I didnt want to do anything to the carb that I couldnt reverse.  I want to go with the budda when he gets back but I will look into the factory pro kit.

I have a Factory Pro kit I don't need. If you want it, shoot me an offer.
Listed as CRB-S10-1.0  for 89-00 carbs.

It does not include pilot jets. You will want to change pilots from 37 to 40 even if you don't do a full rejet. It really helps low RPM power.

Is there a "popular" jet kit? Or do people just "gather" the jets themselves.

What is a #4 washer? Just a standard washer that fits over the needle?
