Who knows stock 1978 KZ1000D Z1R jetting specs?

Cannot find this info anywhere and I know longer have my shop manual.

Stock specs please. Stock air box, stock exhaust. Just need Main and Pilot jet sizes as stock from factory.

VM28SS stock Mikuni carbs.

This would be a huge favor to me.

The main jet & pilot jet sizes are listed in the parts diagrams at the various places.
In the carburetor parts diagram at Partzilla for the 1978 KZ1000-D1, there is a standard main jet size & 3 optional sizes:

Main jet = #107.5 (S.T.D.)
Pilot jet = #15

I'm assuming the carbs in the diagrams are VM28s.
