I'm on 170s with foam filters.... And I was on about 148s with the (modded) airbox. 155 sound about right.

i cant see how 155 can be right because as i said as you roll the throttle back from full it picks up so to me thats lean :? :? where,s the best place to get some more jets ?

I buy all carb related stuff from allens performance (steve)
You can also drill them out, Keihins numbers are mm....155=1,55mm

They also make velocity stacks wich has a bulge over the main air jet/air screw to keep crud out of the carbs/engine.
All their aftermarket stuff is 20£/pc....super service although Steve made a "ohh, what was i thinking" once...

Ooops. Wasn't really paying attention... Does it go better on choke out of interest?

Got my jets from Allens. Bit pricey though..... About £12 a pair!
