I needed a part for some carbs yrs. ago & didn''t see it on their website, so I called them, & they said they didn't have any new ones but they have many old carbs & he said he would check & see if he could find what I was looking for & he would call me back, the next day I got a call back saying he found the part I was looking for, :) , so I would give them a call

Using the link provided, several sizes of pilot jet VM24/486 for Mikuni RS Smoothbore carbs are listed in the clickable PDF Price Sheet starting at 1008 Part No. 004-027.

Hopefully, the size needed will be shown on the removed jets.

Good Fortune! :)

Unfortunately these are CV34 Keihin carbs off a 1981 kz750e2. Unless you think the mikuni parts will work as well?

You have the others out? Pic? You can measure it and they will match one for you.

I would soak in Pb for a few days then reverse drill bit using a thread tapping tool (by hand) not a drill.
