please answer my answer thanks.

Z1 does not carry TK-22 jets that I know of.
pjmotorsports doesn't either.

In fact, I have never seen any source for the jets other than the TK-22 carb rebuild kits and the Dynojet kit. I get the rebuild kits then drill my own mains and pilot jets.

The TK-22 carbs use these kits:
K&L rebuild kit 18-2462
Keyster rebuild kit KK-0049

Or you can try the Dynojet 2305 kit, but that only has mains (and new needles).

The TK-22 can also use small-head Keihin main jets.
I have never seen a pilot jet that was a direct replacement. but you could try a bunch of pilot jets and see if any fit. For me, it's just easier, faster, simpler to just drill them. Many people will tell you it won't work and that getting new ones are the only way, but so far no one has supplied a link to where to get them.

Here's the pjmotorsport fitment page,

Carb Parts
www.nrp-carbs.com --> Keyster kits. Parts-page under construction.
www.motorcyclecarbs.com --> Kits. Appears to have Keihin small-head mains, but all too small (92 or smaller).
www.carbparts.com --> Could not get site to work. Appears to be Keihin, Mikuni only.
www.carbkitscapital.com --> Later tk-26/27 kits only.
www.pjmotorsports.com --> "Jets unknown" for KZ550.
www.jetsrus.com --> no tk-22 jets
www.sportingforless.com/servlet/the-Carb-repair-kit/Categories --> closed.
www.oldbikebarn.com/Motorcycle_Parts/Carb-Rebuild-Kit --> Kits only. No individual jets.
www.cycleorings.com/ [/quote] --> o-rings only. Useful, but no jets.

I went through Mfolks' list and found no TK-22 jets, (other than the already mentioned small-head Keihin mains).

www.motorcyclecarbs.com/Teikei_Large_Main_Jet_C825.cfm they show the tk large main jets from #60 to #185
www.motorcyclecarbs.com/Teikei_Small_Main_Jet_C824.cfm This one shows the small main jets from #50 to #120

The same site indicated the following regarding pilot jets "Other than directly from the OEM as an OEM part there is no resource for Teikei pilot jets. Rumor has it that the MIKUNI VM28/486 jets will work for the TTR250 applications. Maybe others as well."

try testa-roasta he seems to be handy at making carb parts
