Bike sat to long, need to clean carbs and want to replace jets. Had hestation in high RPM's. 1997 valk, corba pipes and k&n filter, recommendations on low and high speed jets and best place to purchase them.

Thanks for input.

I buy my jets from  Chaparral Motorsport, they were a dollar cheaper per jet, then Sudco. But when I got the jets, they were Sudco.  Because now of days the Carb. cleaner is CRAP, it don't hardly take off the tarnish off the jets. When I bought my jets I bought an extra set rather then clean them, they were cheap enough.  Saves time and hassle, no guess work.

A lot of us replace the slow jets (OEM 35s) with 38s. They are just a bit more resistant to clogging. You will need to adjust the pilot screws to 1 3/4s to 2 turns out from lightly seated.
The mains don't usually clog up. If your running an after market exhaust you may need larger main jets, or adjustable needles.

Experience with Chaparral would cause me to try Sudco.Talk to a human to be sure they have all 6 to send you.Things I would definitely have for the job: 18 Allen head screws for all carb bottom screws from your hardware store; Intake o-ring set of 6 from
http://sites.google.com/site/valkparts/) from Red Eye Tech for $12.49; Desmog kit if you are still stock. Red Eye Tech ( I used the regular one for $15.21 but they now have other choices too). A good ratcheting compact/flat wrench to sneak in under the carbs and get those 18 screws out (I use http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00930035000P?prdNo=9&blockNo=9&blockType=#reviewsWrap which is fantastic and I think every motorcycle should carry one (great gift too!) If your air cleaner is dirty have a clean one ready too. Consider dan marc electric shutoff, inline filter (purolater F10024) and maybe a pingle since you'll have the sometimes pesky air box out. Search "slow jets" here and read alot about it. Shop talk also has an article and if you are just replacing slow jets (usually all that is needed) with stock you can ignore carb adjustment and special tool needed. Not real hard!
