I found out my bike is an 81 ltd,not 80 model.I will post a picture here.It is too cold to roll the bike out today.I read where the stock main jets are 127.5.Once I get the airbox, I need to do what, increase the main jet size to about 135? I will have to pay to have this done, I do not know how to work on carburetors.And are those the only jets that need to be changed? Thanks for your help.

Such a nice complement. :blush: She's best when clean...squeaky clean, that is.
I tried frugal...forget it. Take time and do it right. Install Genuine Kawasaki parts, gaskets, etc...with few exceptions.
The color: luminescent Red (from the factory) is way-cool in certain light, especially when the sky is pinkish-orange. :kiss:
I love the way those massive, beautiful engines are just...all out-there for the world to see!
