1981 kz650 jet needle, where to find?

06 May 2014 19:52 - 06 May 2014 19:57

Okay, so for hopefully the final time, I am rebuilding my carbs. This time using an ultrasonic cleaner. It worked great! But, now I need to order more parts. I found that my #2 jet needle is bent, and I need to find a replacement! I have heard that the 1981 kz650 needles do not have grooves, but mine do. On the side of the needle, it says y63. Anyone know where I can get needles? Thanks.

EDIT: Parts manual seems to make it out to be a 5cl30 needle?

wow awesome, thank you! Turns out I think I have the original jet needles in a box somewhere that came with the bike. I think I will ultrasonic clean them and reuse the originals if I have them. Since I cannot buy an individual keyster y63 jet needle, I hope I still have the originals.
