Call the manufacturer! they should know abnd tell you. Usuallly you go bigger when you breath better!

Yosh will not give jetting specs any more. (neither will FMF, Pro Circuit or any other exhaust manufacturer. it's a liability thing.) It is trial and error. I would start 2 sizes up on the main and idle jet and go from there. Run the bike for about ten minutes with a fresh plug and check the spark plug after that. if it's bright white keep going up. if it's dark black go down. you want the plug to be a nice toast brown when it's all good.

P.S. some bikes are very particular about jetting. things like temperature and humidity will change the jetting. so what works at home in june may not work at Dumont in Novemnber.

And remember, if it starts acting up after you re jet it remember where in the throttle it was Acting up. Good rule of thumb; no throttle to 1/4 throttle= pilot, 1/4 to 3/4= needle, and 3/4 to full throttle= main jet.

Its all trial.and error, just keep.playing with it and you'll get it.

Depending on what type of Jet's you decide to use, I would call the jet manufacturer and ask them what your set up is and go from there. Be carefull and dont go by the number sizes as some manufactures sizes indicate the orifice of the jet and others indicate their jet size by the fuel flow that flows through the jet. Last time i installed a jet set on my 350 now bored to 459, i received my jet spec's from HMF's forum. They had no issue giving me jet numbers.
