Quick question about main jets?

[suzukibandit]

Ok i have a 1982gs550mz and it has a 4 in to 1 pipe of unknown make on it. And i just seen that the carbs have 92.5 main jets in them and because before winter came the bike ran rich and i think the jets are wrong? the 92.5 jets are the stock main jets so says the book anyways. I was just wondering if anyone on here could give me a hand trying to figure out my little problem.

Get a new airfilter, make sure the enrichment circuit is not buggered.

I would take the winter and rebuild the carbs, probably plugged air jets. For that pipe I would take it to 95 or 97.5 after they were cleaned.
