      150 is the jet the needle from the top of the carb goes through and the other jet is the one at the front of the carbs where the air box attaches to.

        I do believe the 270 is a 170 and it is a pilot air jet.
        The 42.5 seems right.
        I'd start with a 130 Mikuni main jet. The 150 seems fat unless you have a dynojet kit installed.
        See if the end of the needle on the slide has a blunt end or a nice sharp tapered end.

          Stock main jet would likely have been 110- the pod/4 to1 exhaust would have changed this but 150 seems absurd.
