Mikuni Needle Jets

[dragonworld.]

Anybody got any links/contact to purchasing Mikuni Jets (750 Needle jets in this case)??  

I Googled myself stupid with no luck!  

I ordered a set from Factory Pro who charged me $38 postage for 2 little pieces of brass, and 6 weeks later still havent recieved them!  

So someone more local would be nice without getting ripped by a Genuine Shop!  

Ta Lots!!

Thanks Brimo! I'd forgotten about Williams Tuning! I used to get all my carb stuff for my race bike from them!! I didnt find anything in their listings but I have dropped them a Line to see what they can do!! 

[dragonworld.]

No joy with Ian Williams!! They are an OEM carb and so are the needle jets therefore!! 

[dragonworld.]

Well bugger me!! 

Melbourne Ducati (Frasers) had these jets in stock would you believe!? Along with a key blank for the Old Girl! 

I know what I'll be doing this weekend!! No more steady throttle stumbling and gurgling!! Yeehaa!!

mick hone usually have the factory pro parts (they're an importer/distributor), altho i'm told there's been a bit of a staff cut there and it's hard to get thru to steve.

or a dealer as you found.  there's a bit of variation in 750 sizing, i think they had y-2, y-4 and y-6 over the years.

[dragonworld.]

Yep, my old girl has the Y4 option as per the factory manual, I have a pair of Y2's which I might try as the 4's with the Factory Pro needles appear to be just a wee bit rich!

Suck it and see!! 

I like to use the Factory Pro needle jets as they last a bit longer than the OEM ones but getting them from the USA is now rediculously expensive, and like in this case unreliable, 7 weeks since the order and its a "No Show" so I guess I've done my dough! 

[dragonworld.]

How do you get a set of needle jets that you ordered from Factory Pro 7 weeks ago?? 

Go and buy another set somewhere else!! 

Yep got an Email notification from USPS that an item from Factory Pro was posted on the 6/8!! Might have been out of stock?? Maybe. Just slack?? Possibly.
But either way NOT a word from the seller unfortunately!! 

And by the way, just as a seperate thing................

How do you find a lost bike key?? Go buy a blank and get it cut and voila, the old one appears as if from nowhere!! 

From where you looked for it at least a dozen times before!! Oh dear!!  Gimme a 

I wish the Red key for my DS would turn up!! Stressing me out riding just waiting for the ECU/immobiliser system to malfunction and lock everything up!!

I bought my needle jets from Ca Cycleworks no dramas with postage apart from cost about $110 all up. Stll worked out cheaper than OEM's sourced for  OZ

[dragonworld.]

I ended up getting OEM's from Ducati Melbourne for about the same amount!! (Suprised the shit outa me!!  )

Hey there
How are the needle jets going?
Im thinking I need new ones too. My carburetor is over flowing which sounds like a result of a worn needle.

Is this the same problem you had?
Thanks

There was a vast amount of jettie talk on Tech recently.

I love fiddling with carbs, but my Monster is FI - made me want to pull off all the FI and get some carbs.

Haha I wish I was that handy! Though im Very keen to learn.
Thanks for the link, I'll take a look

If your carbs are overflowing I would think it is more of a float level/needle and seat problem rather than needle jets!

Worn needle jets make it difficult to ride at a steady throttle (Say 60k in top for example) smoothly! It runs rough and is a pain!!
