Set Air / fuel tap to 2 1/2 ish turns

As i have said in several threads about jet sizes, make sure you say what type of jet you intend to use DJ or MK, they are very diffrent. Stock is MK140 i think, so a DJof 145 is going to be smaller as a MK140 is roughly equiv to a DJ150. Its all a bummer.

Sorry

They'll be the Mikuni 145's from Wemoto. Do i need the pilots or not ?

UK bikes have the bigger pilots as standard, no problem there. 2.5 turns sounds about right. Desnork, not sure with a standard can. I doubt you'll be a million miles off with Mik 145s, I'd buy a bigger size or two at the same time since they're so cheap.
