05 R* Carb 11 Months, 1 Week ago  
Hey guys pulled this off my project bike and i think according to my manual diagram I am missing my charcoal canister hose, barb I think that is what it is not sure , my AIS is removed anyways but this it what the carb looked like when I took it off. I am assuming this bike was not messed with since it only had 2800k on it when it was crashed but , who knows if the wrecker got into it. also it is off of a 05 R* and it will not have stock pipes and has a bak kit and no fuel pump what jet do I need stock is a 180 isnt it?'>

Re:05 R* Carb 11 Months, 1 Week ago  
Stock mainjet is a Mikuni 182.5. The carb is more than likely never messed with it, A good indication of that is it has never had the brass plug for the PMS removed. Buy a Barons jet kit and a separate #40 pilot jet. On the 1700 you will use a 172.5 Mikuni main jet and the #40 pilot jet. Other than that you don't have a charcoal canister on your bike (maybe if it come from California) and from what I can see in the small pic everything else appears normal. The pic is small so you can compare the carb to the carb on your other bike it should look the same. If not take/post a pic of what is missing.

Dave, the #40 pilot jet is good for a 1700 with a 172.5 main? If so what are you running you PMS screw at?
When I rejetted the last time I went to the 172.5,but kept the 135 pilot. Been trying different settings on the PMS but still getting popping on deceleration. Bike runs really good though.
Mine was a California bike and I removed all the smog components along with the AIS years ago.

Pms with a #40 on a 1700 will be between 2-2 1/2 turns out. If you change to the #40 you will find out that your bike is just running "OK" with a 35 and it will run"really good" with the 40.

Re:05 R* Carb 11 Months, 1 Week ago  
There Davej ! actually i just wanted to know is it the barb for the charcoal canister that is missing or is it something else ?you can see on the right hand side next to the pms bras cap there is a threaded hole in the manual it says it is a barb going to the charcoal canister but when i took it off the bike there was no barb just this threaded hole? kinda confusing because most carbs that have a charcoal canister barb are pressed in not threaded

You are not missing anything. Nothing goes in the threaded hole on your carb.

COOL!
so i was at my local Yami dealer, shooting the shit , seeing what he can supply me and at what price etc when i asked them about the jets and the mechanic came out and had a deep discussion on on what he has done on customers bikes and what has been written up on this site, when the mechanic pulled a box out of the back of the parts department and why dont you use this , it was an old stock dyno jet kit for the 1700. and i said well what do you want for it and he said $40, so i grabbed it. hope it works !

There's a mikuni to dynajet conversion chart in the tech section here to help you out.
Jets are similar but not exactly the same.

You can use the Dynojet needle and the conversion chart as Dave said above to get the correct main jet but the dynojet 37.5 pilot jet is the exact size as the stock Mikuni #35 pilot. You still need to buy the mikuni #40 pilot jet.

Re:05 R* Carb 9 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
Ok DaveJ i got the #40 yami part its in now my elevation is 3400 feet above sea level, i got a barons bak kit, some old pipes that some one had drilled holes in, no ais, no fuel pump.the dynojet kit that i have does not have a 180 main .
it goes from a dj175-dj190 the kit suggests a 195 which does not correlate any where near the 172.5 mukuni number, i put the dj190 in and all the presets previously outlined , we will see what happens.
