Yes, don't waste your money. Unless your original jets are damaged you would be better off just cleaning them and reusing all the brass. O-rings need to be replaced and maybe bowl gaskets too, but that's typically all. Cycleorings.com sells Mikuni VM and BS CV carb kits for good prices. They are designed for Suzuki GS bikes but most of the same O-rings fit into KZ carbs too.

I use Keyster carb kits. I love their gaskets.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

If you are going to buy any carb kits then Keyster are the ones to have.

Just make sure they are real Keyster kits. I've come across fake ones with similar shaped packaging with the Keyster part numbers and the jets and needles were not useable. They were not actually marked "Keyster", but were made to look like they came from Keyster.
The REAL Keyster kits I've used were excellent.

Agree they Seal up nice and are reusable. Aslo I have ordered twice from the Japan site directly with good results. Shipping time was unexpectedly fast. I payed through PayPal so I had resources if something fell through.

When I lived near Vancouver I once had a package from Webike in only 4 days. Stuff from Z1E normally takes two weeks.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.
