How are we supposed to know Take them out and read the numbers on them.

Going by the STICKY in the forum it states 117.5 mains for 1983 and up 750s. So the 120 sounds pretty close.

i would GUESS that with a 4-1 exhaust & stock airbox you will need to go up one or two sizes from stock with the main (122.5 - 125) and raise the needles one notch.

Again, this is just a guess - do some plug chops & go from there.

Hikermikem has the right idea, but I would start with a 125 and not even worry about trying a 122.5.

Which jets you need will depend a lot on how freely the exhaust flows. How can you tell how freely it flows? Loudness is a clue (but not the definitive answer). If it is a very quiet pipe, the 125 might be OK. If it is a noisier, freer-flowing, race-type pipe, you might need 130 or larger. The only way to tell is to install the jets, run the bike and do plug chops. This can be done at a dyno facility or a secluded area of road.

My #2 son's 850 is supposed to have 115s as stock jets. With the quiet pipe that's on there (see pic in sig), I have 120s and it runs quite well.
