So, two questions. One, the main jets listed are supposed to be 117.5, it has three sizes richer at 125. Bike has stock everything, will it be too rich or? Next question, how do i get these idle jets out, I am leaving the three stuck ones in there for now, but will buy four new jets. Drill them out carefully with a left hand drill??

Before doing all of this I'd fully break down the carbs and soak the bodies in carb dip for at least 12 hours to remove the crud. This may help loosen up the jets too. You keep calling them idle jets but I believe the proper name is pilot jets.
