while the intake boots orings are important too...
the other orings that often need attention are in the carbs

I was referring to the o-rings inside the carbs.
The DJ 110 will be too small. Try a 117.5 Mikuni main. The DJ 110 is like a 102.5 Mikuni which is smaller than stock.

Mikuni to Dynojet
Mikuni divided by .9375 = DJ size

Dynojet to Mikuni
Dynojet x .9375 = Mikuni size

Thanks chef.
The 117.5 main is what I had with the stock configuration, I'll give it a try.

So which o-rings are you referring to then chef?

[basic]

there's a host of o'rings in the carbs - the ones that are on the fuel connections between carbs, the ones that go on the float needle housing, the ones that go on the air mixture screw, the ones that go on the fuel vent housing....i think that may be it. check out bikecliff's website for rebuild info, it lists the o-rings to replace.

Stock main jets should be 112.5 or 110.
The o-rings are under the idle mixture screws, vent Ts, float bowl connector rods, float seat and choke. These are all twenty years + old and need to be replaced. The carb bodies also should be dipped in Berrymans to clean out all the ports and sprayed out with carb cleaner.
I will never jet a bike until I check compression, adjust valves and do up the carbs.

I have a set of DJ 118's if any use....

Thank you. I have the original 117.5s that came with the carbs.

I have to first do a honey-do and replace the air conditioning system on my wifes car :-| We have to have AC down here in Texas as summer is fast approaching
