I am running in a z900 with dyna ignition, mac 4into1 exhaust. 26mm standard mikuni vm carbs, kN filters. and a gas flowed head with standard barrels. The bike won't run past 5000 revs and it feels like a lack of fuel ?? I need advice on what size jets to fit . (pilot and main jets.) It ticks over okay so maybe the pilot is fine. Any ideas and also any pointers where to buy jets at a reasonable price in the UK ?? Thanks. :??

I'm running the same set up on my A4, I have'nt had her on the road yet, but I've decided to cahnce my arm with a set f 120 main jets and then just fiddle with the needle position and see how it goes from there.

I've ordered genuine mikuni jets off www.motocarb.co.uk, they have them in stock as well as a lot of other sizes and they're only £2.75 each, a fella called Steve was who I dealt with.
Just make sure you order the right type of main jet as there are 3 different style of mikuni ones, you'll need the round slotted type (N100.604) and then whatever size you want.
Hope this helps.
