I need a 160 Main jet to fit the KLR carb.If anybody had any Ideas
where I can find it I would be intrested.I have recently did the
airbox mod and also the carb mod.All I had to go back in the carb was
a 150 the directions call for a 160.The proformance differnce even
with the 150 are very noticable.Thanks Bob in Bama

Hey Bob,
The first place I'd check for a 160 main for my 40mm Keihin CV carb
is your friendly Harley-Davidson dealer... tell them you need it for
your cousin's Sportster

160 = 1.6mm = 0.062992"
A 1/16" (0.0625") drill bit could be used to carefully 'hand drill'
your 'main' to a '160'... (use a 'pin vise' to hold the drill bit)

Your solution seems to suggest there's a constant for measuring jet size,
but I thought stock carb jet #'s are not compatible with DJ carb jet #'s.
Is this wrong, or does one use standard measuring and the other not?

Hello from a new member in B.C Canada.
I am looking at buying a 2000 KLR650C-4, but am having
much difficulty finding information on the specific differences
between the A and C models. Any help available oh great KLR guru's?
thanks so much.
