Should I use OEM Keihin or Chinese jets?

Post by HillbillySnowman »

Hi all
Want to start the jetting process on my bike and I have found both Keihin branded and no name branded jets on Ebay. The Keihins are a bit pricey at 7 dollars each while the no names are 50 dollars for a pack of 27. Which ones should I choose? has anyone used the Chinese un branded jets? They don't seem too rough in the photos and would allow me to get a wider range for cheaper. Any input would be appreciated.

You could also go a different route and get a JD Jetting kit. My dad used one of their kits and they are awesome. Kinda pricey but worth it.

Jetsrus.com and I have bought those OEM and other brands. Haven't had an issue with either. Keeping a clean air filter and not letting gas sit in carb will pretty much guarantee whatever jets you use will work just fine.

I would use Jetsrus.com however I am in the predicament of living in Australia so any price you guys pay is essentially doubled. I have found a business in Victoria who sells Keihin jets for $6.50 Australian so I may aswell go with them.
I'll buy a couple sizes smaller and larger so I'll have the jets I need for winter.

$6.50 is not too bad given your circumstances. Less than $20 and you are done. Probably the cheapest price you will ever get away with when it comes to dialing in a bike [emoji12]
