    I have the litetek kit in my carbs and after cleaning the jets the bike starts without a choke now too. And they are a good price too.

    Ive come across an old dude that use to own two wheeled wreckers here in Western Australia, I spoke to him about my bike n what I had planned for it n basically this is what he told me... " son, if your trying to give lessons to kawasaki on how to make reliable horsepower then good luck to you" he also said that if I were to install the kit it would most likely burn a hole in number 4 piston over time. I somewhat belive him but ill do more research on the subject before I do bin it lol

    Exactly ..... the Japanese engineers of the day certainly would know wat they were doing.

    The best thing to do with jets is clean them correctly and blow them out with compressed air
    Make sure they are correct and stock sizes noting that inline 4s can have different sizes on the outer cylinders to the 2 inner.
    And lastly to treat them with kid gloves when removing and refitting as they are brass , and in the case of pilot jets the slot can turn to mush very quickly, so use a correctly fitting tool

    A bit like taking the airbox off and using those silly little pod filters to LOSE usable horsepower.

    GreyImport... ive got a brand new unifilter here ready to go on the bike. As far as I can tell the bike still has its factory exhaust but would you say that the bike would require jetting to accommodate the unifilter or will it be fine?

    I have a uni filter and didn't need to re jet it. I just cleaned the carbs.

    I would look at something like a unifilter as just a 'high quality' replacement for the stock issue filter.

    As Tim alludes to , it works ..... but then isnt your bike going like a bag of **** Tim?? .... just kidding mate! :lolsign:

    My C model came with a unifilter also .... but it was a shed buy and its in pieces now so I cant vouch for it.

    The thing is its the airbox it sits in that controls alot of the airflow ..... thats why they are so big and clunky at times with a maze for the air to flow thru.

    Ive also read that , for the same reason, u can have much more success with pods if u put just a simple elbow pipe between the carb and pod.

    thats my take on it anyway
