Mains

You have CV carbs and your mains are 115. The OEM order number is 09491-23001 and you can order them from your dealer although you can find them cheaper elsewhere. You'll likely get a lot more advice and recommendations...but that's still gonna be the end deal after all is said and done.

Do you have any mods, like exhaust or filter, that need to be included? You've pulled the jets for a reason I assume...

yea i rebuilt my carbs and i have drag pipes with stock air box

[loungeguy69]

You need to do a jet kit, including main and pilot jets. The factory jets are inherently lean so with a drag pipe it makes things worse.

For just a pipe you don't necessarily need a jet kit (you can but the jets will probably be the wrong sizes) but you will probably have to go up on the mains a bit & perhaps shim the needles with washers a little to get it running perfect.
