[NewMetal]

Does anyone know where i can get bigger carb. jets for my 1996 Trident 900 with Mikuni carbs..... I just recently installed a k&n and d&d slip ons and now its gonna run very lean.... any one know where i can get main jets? or would it be best to find idle and pilot jets as well? and i dont know if you can help me but i need to figure out what oil goes into a 2001 bonneville ... 800cc? lost owners manuel....

Dynojet make a kit for all the t3's, with main jets, pilot jets and needles. I bought one a few months ago for my speed triple cheap off trademe(kiwi ebay) but i havent installed anything yet, waiting for the cash to do a full stage 1.

also, my dad owns a 2001,790cc bonnie and he puts motul 5100 10W40 in it. same with all the bikes in our garage.

Best source would be Mikuni USA
Phil Bast is a great source.

They will most likely tell you to go to Sudco
http://www.sudco.com/
There is a guy names Mike there that is a wealth of information.
Plus side is he rides a 2004 Trumpet


Oil rage is generally 15/50 or 10/40
I like silkolene 15/50 in all my bikes
although I did have excellent results with Mobile1 for MC's
You will most likely need a main and pilots and bump up a few.
Get new plugs while you are at it and make sure the gap is right.
This is the best way to start on the road to tuning your carb, that and some patience.
Good luck JC

People usually end up sticking with the stock 42 pilot jets on the T3 series. The DynoJet kit is very expensive for what you get. I'd rather spend $10 on new Mikuni jets than $100 on Dynojets. You can order the Mikuni jets here:

what about changing the needles also? i currently have #115 mains, but purchased #120's for when i change to the K&N filter. i am in a fog about new needles (or shims if i can find any)

115 mains, is that stock? Nah - that might be a a non Mikuni jet - could be a 115 Dynojet jet, that would match to a 125 mikuni (approx)! I remember 125's as stock - maybe the middle was 120! My Cal Sprint was 105/3 and still is and that bike runs a K&N! As to the needle get some small washers that will allow the needle to pass through and to be of a size that will fit the indent. That will allow you to split the clip, as it were and if applicable. Changing the pilots from stock as KitNYC says - agreed no need to - unless someone already has. Chances are you'll be 125 or 127.5 on the mains, possibly 130 - richening the needle by 1/2 a clip and a tweak of the fuel screws somewhere between 21/4 and 3 turns out. That's an educated guess but all bikes are different and get to their state of tune 'one change at a time'. That 115 is queer though - there is a possibility that you already have a Dynojet kit installed or the bike has been run at altitude - cos 115 seems wrong! But of course I could be just an addled old codger in need of some more Ginkgo Bilbao! or your carbs are Keihin!
I found this again ! http://www.thunderbike.co.nz/workshop/faq/index.htm an old tried and tested compendium!

#115 is the Kehin mains.

the jetting numbers may vary,but i am guessing the theory is the same!
