You can install one by all means but try getting the bike DYNO'd first then listen to what the tech tells you about your carbs.
One thing to buy that WILL definitely help the carbs is the new needle jet replacements the old brass Yamaha ones are most likely worn as they seem a tad soft and go oval. This is on my hit list for the year.

It's really a toss up. Half will say dynojet is better and half will say factory pro is better. I think it just comes down to fine tuning. I have Dynojet in my bike and have never had an issue. I also didn't drill the diaphram like it says to do.
As for the brass things... I think George meant to call them emulsion tubes. They get worn down into an eggshape over time and end up causing all sorts of irregularities. Factory Pro makes some Nickel plated ones that aren't supposed to oval out like the brass does. Be prepared to drop 100 on them though.
I think this is actually more of a Factory Pro thing (calling them emulsion tubes, that is). The manuals all say "needle jet". Besides that, I've talked to guys at shops about them and when I said "emulsion tubes" they looked at me like, "Huh???". I then proceeded to clarify by saying "needle jet" and they went, "Oh, needle jets". LOL! Whatever... Back to drinking...yamaha_george wrote: English translation of emulsion tube is needle jet :-}
