I have decided after reading about the x carbs that after putting on the BAK I need a larger main jet. Where can I get the 200, 205, and 210 jets. Should I also get some larger pilot jets too? What size? After it gets hot and humid down here in SE Texas will I have to put the 195 jet back in? Thanks T.

Keihin style Factory Pro main jets up to 250 here (series 393)
They have the slow jets too (series 21):

DynoJet jets and Keihin jets have different numbering systems so keep that in mind. Keihin numbers by flow rate (200 main = 200 cc/min) and dynojet numbers by hole size (200 = 2.0 mm)

Rough conversion:
Dynojet Jet to Mikuni Jet simply multiply the Dynojet size by .9375 i.e.: DJ200 X .9375 = 187.5 Mikuni Size.
Mikuni Jet to Dynojet Jet simply divide the Mikuni size by .9375 i.e.: 150 / .9375 = 160 or DJ160 Dynojet.

I don't think you'll need larger than a 58 slow. You should't have to rejet because of the heat...maybe adjust the A/F screw. I don't like to jet when it's very hot or very cold...sort of middle temps 65 - 75 and bike seems to run well enough at all temps. Guess it depends how picky you are.

Rage Performance has Keihin style pilots and mains as well, but they only carry Keihin style mains up to 200. And, they've been a little slow with this last shipment (still waiting 3 weeks later) which I'm not happy about right now.

OK Rich, I put in the dyno 210 jetthat came with the BAK, pulled out the 4th shim cause I was getting too much shudder. It was about 65 today and clear. My bike ran better than ever maybe just a little lean when I am balls to the walls but I will leave it like that because of the high temps and high humidity we will have here soon. Thanks again for all the info. T.

Yes it definitely runs better. The Baron's BAK was worth it, I could probably go to a slightly larger jet and tweak out a little bit more but when it gets hot I am afraid it will be way too fat. T.
