I just sent them an email to confirm. Jets R Us doesn't have them either. 1978 Kz1000 A2A. 1040 Weisco 10.25:1 pistons, VM 28ss carbs, Dyna S Ignition and coils, Moto GP Werks exhaust, Ikon Shocks, lithium ion battery, Always a work in progress. 1974 Kz400 - 16K miles - all stock

Just got reference, the "-3" is the clip position and not part of the needle part number. So it's just 5CN15.

There are several on eBay but the prices are pretty high.

Other options might be to use a needle and needle jet from a later of vm28 if you happen to find those, or maybe aftermarket needles from a rebuild kit or dynojet.

hardrockminer Offline Sustaining Member Posts: 2936 Thank you received: 1036	Those needles are from a set of '78 Z1R carbs. If you're changing the needles you might want to consider changing the needle jets too. Keyster sells kits for them. www.jp-stores.com/mc/we70630/?act=c2&c=404&icode=5574 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.

gd4now Offline User Denco where did you go? Posts: 1265 Thank you received: 374	Hope you make a deal that works for you both. At some point when not so full of liquid breads I will start a topic on what the markings on the needles mean and do not mean on the round slide Mikuni carbs, at least as I understand. 1977 KZ650 B1 Pods and Denco header This is my Z OLD KAW OWNERS SMILE ALOT
