i orderred mains and pilots
whats a "mid"
do i need it?

yes you need a mid. Im sure you read about people buyin just two jets and shimming the needle but our year bikes have 3 jets a pilot a mid and a main. If im not mistaken someone told me the mids come into play when your cruising a low speed and the main work when your going faster or when gunning it from a stop. but I may be wrong
