    GS850G Needle Jets required

    Looking for 4 of: Mikuni Needle jet, Part Number 09494-00270?
    New parts required and it seems that they are scarce.

    Most of us have them sorted by either bike/engine or by jet size, not part number.

      Part numbers are a very good way of sourcing any parts. Instead of searching for bike model/size specific parts, cross referencing part numbers can identify a whole range of different bikes that use the same part.
      The needle jets found in his particular carbs (of which we have no clue either to the model or year!) are probably used in a whole bunch of other bikes so someone may have a set of carbs from a different bike altogether but still use the same parts.

          How did i miss that???
          But yes year is important as it could be either BS or VM carbs on a 850

              My service agent is now ordering one size different from Japan and will modify and tune the bike to suit what is available. It seems that the parts I gave a number for are no longer available. I have no doubt that INTUNE Motorcycles in Ringwood, Victoria, Australia will get it running correctly. It will take a few weeks but I am in no hurry.
              My thanks to all who considered my request

                  And thus, the reason for having your bike in your signature. It's easy to do just go to the upper right portion of your home screen and make the changes, under settings.

                    I have a set for the 1980 GS850G model stamped X-5 with the matching main jets 115. Let me know if you still need them and we can work something out.

                      I would like to offer an open apology to anyone who I may have seemingly "ignored" on this subject but I have been dealing with my brother passing away from Methoselioma . Not a nice way to leave this earth!
