I have one of those too. Sounds too rich to me. Stock mains were 102.5 and stock pilots were 15. My bike has 107 mains and 17.5 pilots but I have a Z1 airbox on mine and the carbs are off a '76 KZ900. It runs perfectly.
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.
