Re: keihin jets

Look on the bright side, mate :D You got it for next to nothing, and you've found out it's not an economic fix before you've wasted days, weeks, months, trying to sort the jetting :D I'd call that a result ;) God knows what the history of that slide is, it's a right state and, anyway, the cutouts to...

Assuming that the Mikeck has the characteristics of, say, a PM expansion, then a 47 rear (I've got a fairly cheap SIL one in mine and never had any probs with it), and a 17 front would be my choice ;)

Re: keihin jets

:shocking: , don't have too much faith just yet, mate :lol: I'll check the slide for you tomorrow hopefully but, I think, that sounds right for a lammy. I'll get the main jets in the post too ;) The ScootRS one is an oval bore, 28mm width, 30mm height. They are supposed to give a better throttle res...
