The pilot screws in there are correct, although there is a difference between these and others I have seen before.
The thread for the air screw are deeper in the hole than most, when I tried to use the type of screw depicted in your photo, the thread never engaged, the other air screw provided was too small a diameter, although I do think the thread is at the right depth. I'm not too worried about it as my screws were in good condition, and are working properly. As soon as the bike cools off, I'm going to drop to a 15 pilot, as the screws seem happiest less than 1/2 turn out. I also need to reroute the throttle cable, and tinker with the main jet, it is flat on top, just not sure if its rich or lean yet.
Mine:
04 Honda rebel 250(wifes)
04 GSXR 750(bolt on galore)
98 CBR 600F3(filter, pipe, adjustable cam sprokets, dyno tune)
76 KZ900A (LTD gauge pods, crash bars, LTD(style)pipes, dyna coils and ignition,headwork and mild port cleanup by cavanaugh racing, K&N filter pods, heck I dunno.
