i got mine from here

http://motorcycleproducts.co.uk/

£11.63 for a set... they send you 5 so you've got a spare too :)

they ARE different to stock.. slightly, they are deeper/taller however you put it .. work though.. i've got the 105's in my H1

dynojet will want 100+ for a "kit" which is IIRC, 2 sets of jets.. diff needles, and ..um .. oh, some washers and maybe allen bolts to replace the crosshead ones that hold the float bowls on. waste of money IMO. for the same outlay you could get a dyno run, change the jetting, and another dyno run to confirm its worked :)

Cheers Zimm, i thought you'd be the man to answer this one! :lol:

Gonna go for #102's to complement the Beet system as suggested by you, and see how it goes. :smt001

102's sound about right with a standard airbox.. mine was rich with 105's till we ripped the trumpet off the airbox .. then it went lean, so im going to go larger again .. if it ends up rich i can always make more holes in the airbox :)

have noticed though that cylinders 2 and 3 seem to be running hotter (the headers are bluing up way more than 1 and 4) so will be trying staggered jetting with 1 and 4 on 107's with 2 and 3 on 110's.

i've come across staggered jetting a few times on zxr's that have been dynoed, so, we'll see ..

lol, never mind! Cheers for the advice tho. Cant decide wether to stagger them or not myself. Obviouly theres the cooling issue so may just do it to keep things as they were if you see what i mean. So if i was to do that that would make 1 and 4 #102, and 2 and 3 #104, right?

they go up in steps of 2.5 but they dont label them as such ..

so its,

100
102.5
105
107.5
110

etc etc ..

you could try 100's and 102's, it'll be better than whats in there, and avoid the possibility of going too rich with 102's/105's

a quick power run with A/F readout should only cost ~£25 to give you an idea of which way to go from there.

yeah they are Baz, ones int here at the mo are marked on the side.

Yeah i noticed they go up like that and thought perhaps 100 and 102.5's to avoid going rich.

Is it me or will i have to buy 2 sets of jets to do that as they dont seem to sell them individually......

try giving them a ring, or emailing them, they only pluck them from a pot and put them in a bag ..

order online, and yeh, you'd need 2 sets ..
