Hello Team:

K&N separate filters, Dyna S ignition, Accel coils/8.8 wires, and Kerker pipe.

The old Mikuni manual says 120 jets. The new manual says 130 jets. Both manuals say the middle (3 from top) clip on the needle.

Anyone know for sure on the jets? 120 or 130s?

Thanks, CwiseGUY

I'll give you what may sound like a "wiseguy" reply. You are the only one that can know "for sure", by doing throttle chops and reading plugs. To many variables for a one size fits all answer. If 120/130 is the recommendation, I personally would start out rich and see how it runs.

I didn't understand why the manuals differed? My '81 Gpz1100 bored to 1170 with RS36s has 130s. My '75 z1 1105 has Sbore 29s and runs 120's.

I figured there wouldn't be a shortcut...

haha...
