          wouldnt it be cheaper to just order the individual mikuni jets?

            for retail that is not bad.

            the needles are the most important pieces in there.

                If you're an expert carb tuner maybe. But for the average Joe a kit is the only way to go. The needles are what makes the kit worth every penny. Trying to guess what taper you need would end up with more headaches and more purchases of jets here and there vs getting everything you need in one kit. You also usually get new slide return springs and a drill bit to drill the slides for quicker throttle response.

                  I agree with pjm204. I bought two sets of jets after converting to a kerker 4 to 1 and pods $20.00. Then I just added some tiny little washers under the needles, less than $.25 and I am by no means a master tuner. But the bike does great.

                    your 20.00 <pods> are as/more restrictive than the stock air box.
                    let me guess...
                    really prettty chrome emgo's cones?
                    a st.3 jet kit and filters that flow near as good as K&N's is the only way to do the job correctly.
                    if jet kits was'nt needed...
                    they would'nt have sold thousands of kits....

                      I'm pretty sure he meant that he got two sets of main jets for $20 and not that he bought $20 pod filters.

                        The problem with the jet kits is they 'assume' everything about the bike.

                        The reality is each bike tends to be a little different - especially an older bike with worn carbs, worn advancers, worn bore, worn cam chain (which impacts cam timing), etc., etc.... the newer the bike (less miles) the better they are likely to work.

                        I am not a fan of dynojet kits. I've had a couple in bikes I've bought over the years, and most have a stumble in the mid-range.

                            I just tuned a friends Yamaha for him after he put a pipe on it. It wasn't even fun to ride the jetting was so far off. I ordered 4 larger mains and shimmed the needles with some shims from the hardware store. He's very happy with the results and the money savings.
