Hi I wish to rebuild my carbies (keeping it stock) and want to know if the after market rebuild kits are any good ie the Keystar brand. When you look at these kits on ebay the jet sizes are different to the stock ones, is this okay? Ideally I'd like to buy some nos but can't seem to find anything. Any help on this would be appreciated. Richard

Keyster gaskets are okay, but I'd recommend cleaning and reusing the original jets, or buy new Mikuni parts. I've bought all the carb parts from my local Suzuki dealer. Have you asked at your dealer? Motorcyclecarbs.com also stock original Mikuni jetting items.
