Bought bike with pod air filter...

Now that I moved the carb size (Main Jet) to that 125 the bike now has significant more power and I can shift to second gear at a higher mph; however, it did not do too much when it came to the rpm's or the actual maximum speed. With the new sized main jet head the bike's max rpm is now 5200~ but max speed is about 62 now.
My question is what do I do now? Do I keep moving up in sizes until I find a right fit for the pods or what else? I'm open to suggestions and thank you gents for all the help!

Get a genuine Kawasaki Factory Service Manual and carefully perform all the routine maintenance. Only then can you be sure that the carbs are properly jetted and adjusted.

Order a Dynojet kit for your bike before you cook the poor engine. If the pods you have are the junky Emgo type changing them out for some decent pods from K&N, APE, or Mikes XS is strongly advised too. Or, get a stock airbox and throw that on...

Thanks all!
The manual will cover that. there are paper ones for sale on ebay and electronic ones available on the web if you look around.
