You can get them at the dealer. About $13 a piece and a 210 is the biggest one they sell. At least at this one. If u know the mechanic he may just give u one.

I tried a couple of dealers, but ebay might be the ticket, I'll go and take a look.

Thanks

Correct, although the single jets may be tough to find.


I tried a couple of dealers, but ebay might be the ticket, I'll go and take a look.
What you should be looking for are Keihin (pronounced kayheen) jets.
The main jets are series 393.
The slow jets are series 21.

For reference, the stock jets are 55 on the slow jet and 195 on the main jet.
Your mileage may vary, but with a decapped air box (with K&N filter) and aftermarket pipes, you probably don't need anything bigger than 58 slow and 215 main.

Factory Pro sells individual jets, and lots of folks use FP jets as upgrades.  Their website isn't great, but here is a link:
http://www.factorypro.com/ (http://www.factorypro.com/)
Somewhere on their site, they list their distributors.  You might have better luck ordering single jets from a distributor.

From my research, most folks with your setup are running 58 idle jet, 210 or 215 main jet, needle clip set on the 4th position (from the blunt end), and the A/F screw set at 1.75 to 2 turns out.
You already have an aftermarket needle, and if I remember correctly, we set your clip on the 4th position with one shim.  With larger jets, you may not need the shim.


That being said, some folks (MR VTX included) have had good luck with Dynojet replacement jets.
I don't have much info on the DJ jets, but I know the sizes are marked differently.  Perhaps Jason can help out with the DJ recommendations.
