My book says that my bike has VM24SS carbs.... with 100 main & 16 pilot stock.... I need to get biggers jets....I have seen people on the forum running 110 & 17.5....and some running 117.5 & 20..... i was thinking I would go with 117.5 & 20.... only because I already am at 16. i will be taking the carbs apart this weekend to check what is actually there but figured I would ask now, maybe order new jets this weekend....
I have 4 pods & kerker....
This sight is excellent..... so many people with so much good advice..... Thanks a lot!!!!!

Is there a big difference from 1 size to the next on jets, main & pilot?

As I recall, the number represents cross sectional area of the hole in the jet?

I am surprised about the 122.5's though, that seems like a pretty big jump... but seeing the stock 15 pilots actually makes me feel better, maybe that is the problem....I rarely had the bike totally opened up when I had the popping issues, maybe the 122.5's will be good with the 17.5's.....
