Title: Is this a stock Carb. needle?
Post by: sv303 on March 20, 2005, 05:17:57 PM

I tried to download a picture put didn't know how! I bought a used race bike to race this season and I wanted to see what jets were in the carburator. I've never seen a needle like this, maybe I'm just new to this. The needle wasn't solid. It had a hole up the center and then about 8 or so holes on opposite sides of each other. It was shorter then a normal one too. The only thing printed on it was a "C". This is off a Sv650. Is this a stock needle?

Also what should I start out with in the carburator? The motor is stock, full race pipes, it has stock air but I'm going to get an after market air filter.

It's a Yosh MJN Needle

Thanks for answering fourandsix. Has anyone tested a Yosh MJN needle to a regular one. It looks like it would be better.

It's a good set up.

The stock needle is designed to help the bike meet EPA emission standards. The MJN needle is designed for performance.
