    Replacement needlejets for gs750t

    I wanted to get 4 new needle jets for my GS 750T. I tried bikebandit.com, and I think the part number is 715171-001, but it looks like they are discontinued. Are there other needle jets that are suitable for this bike?

    Really glad this site is around - it's an invaluable resource!

    Cheers!

      Are the ones that you have destroyed in some fashion? If not, clean them up and put them back in. Better than aftermarket IMHO.

      Welcome, by the way.

          Ebay

          I'd suggest Ebay. A needle jet for our bikes is one of the very few parts I've ever wanted to buy new that wasn't available. I bought a whole extra set of carbs when I found out needle jets weren't available. As far as I know, that's about the only carb part not still available...but it's a 'biggie'.

              When searching for them in other places, is that part number I gave what I should be looking for? Or are there other compatible ones that would work as well?

              I don't think my current ones are destroyed. I already went thru and cleaned them once, but need to do a better job this 2nd time. I thought it would be good to have some backups in case I toasted one of them

              Cheers!

                  Not much to go wrong with the jet itself (unless you over tighten them and strip the slot the next time you try to remove them). A good soak in carb cleaner or Brasso will do the trick. Just make sure that you don't jam a wire or other object through them, changing the orifice size.

                      Right!

                      As Dave says, you can usually salvage the gig. If you strip them getting them out (I did that once), they can often be re-threaded quite simply. It sounds as though you already have them out so just clean them up and you should be good to go!! Hope so!!:-D

                          Factory Pro still makes them.
