    Best source for carb rebuild kits and jets

    I'm about to attempt a rebuild on the two Mikunis for my GS425, and I need a comprehensive rebuild kit from one source. Because I'm running K&N pods and an opened up exhaust, I'll also need to re-jet. Hopefully I can get this all from one source. Any recommendations? On another note, my petcock is original, so I figured I'd rebuild that too. Can I get this all from one source?

    I don't know about the petcock other than OEM, but for jets, try Sudco.

      You don't need carb rebuild kits - just get the orings from Robert Barr (www.cycleorings.com) as given in your megawelcome.

        Sirius Consolidated has some great jet prices too. Under MAKE type in Suzuki. Under choose parts, select carb parts.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          What about gaskets? I thought there was more to a rebuild than O-rings.

            If they haven't been apart for ages you'll need gaskets too.
            Aftermarket gaskets work fine. Use OEMif you replace any other parts...
