Yeah my kit only came with those two sizes. Bike is running really well now. A quarter turn made a world of differance that and my petcock vacuum line was not connected to the petcock. Once I plugged that things really improved. Thanks. I plan on ridding it alot soon I'll keep you updated. One last question, what setup would require the 120 main jet? In my reading of other jetting threads I don't remember seeing anyone using it.

Ok she's running a load better now. Sometimes this weird thing where after reving to 6k+ she'll stall fall below good idle and either come back (less common) or stall (more common). I'm not sure how this effects my normal riding besides the occasional stop light stall. But problem always presents if I do a quick rev and let the throttle snap closed. Idle is around 1400 or 1500.  Thoughts?

Do you smell gas? Yes? Check floats and rubber needle under the float, raise clip up, this will lower the needle into the carb.
Don't smell gas, try lowering the clip to raise the needle in the carb.

iMake sure all air jet screws are turned the same about.  ie 3 turns out. Also try syncing the carbs....still problem? Check valves.

By check the floats what do you mean? Ike for cracks and stuff? The rubber tips on the needles were good last time I had them apart.

Check all that....but I was referrring to the float level. For me it's the hardest thing to get. You have to measure each one the same way and with in 1mm of each other.

Wow I understand why the pilot screws are factory plugged. I guess I got my righty tighty lefty loosey mixed up when switching sides of the bike.... Ran them all in and backed them out to 3.25 out and she set right into a really nice idle. To anyone who reads this in the future vigilantly observe what direction you are moving the pilot screws. A simple slip of mine made my bike run like shit.

Just curious, was that the FP 3.0 recommendation on turns out? (I've got the 1.0, which is 2-1/8)

I'm not sure I started at 3 turns out and adjusted from there. I thought 2 turns was stock? I may try working from 2 out and see how things go. The grass is always greener.
