Main Jet Sizes?

Post by gageusmc1000 »

I have an 87 FZR1000. Has a Yosh. Slip-on and K&N Pod Filters on it with 135 Main Jets. However my Fuel/Air Mixture screws are adjusted to 3 7/8 in order for the bike to run properly! So, after researching, i have found that I need a richer main jet to compensate these screws back to 3 Full Turns(Which I think is factory). So my main question is, What size main jet should I put in the bike? & Would it involve me lowering the needle as well??

Suggestions/Thoughts and Ideas would be much appreciated!

Cheers!

If your idle mix screws are out too much, you need to go up a size on your pilots, not your mains.

The pilot, main, and starter jets are clustered together in the middle of the carb under the bowl. The main and starter jets are the same style / type, just different jet sizes. The other jet by elimination is the pilot.
