    GS450 Pilot jet size confusion...

    I have an 82 gs450 txz, running individual K&N's and a very free-flowing exhaust. I upped the main from the stock 115s to 135s and it runs great at mid throttle and WOT, but I get a big burble coming off the throttle at high revs. Not something you even notice putting around town but up on the Dragon it gets noisy. I understand this to be caused by the mixture getting lean as the slides snap shut and the pilot circuit can't flow enough fuel.

    So I was looking at upping the pilot jet, and here's where my question comes in: The parts fische lists "JET, PILOT (17.5) 09492-17005", but when I jump on jets r us, pilot jet sizes run from 30 to 60. Is there a different sizing convention going on here? Which one is a step or two larger than stock?

    And if I'm way off in left field with my methods to fine tune these carbs, I'm all ears. Thanks in advance!
