Before I bought the bike this is the needle that was installed, as per the dealer paperwork. What needle is this? I want a DEL or CEL but I am pretty sure this isn't one of those... LOL.
16009-1831 R1173K/2AFKP
many thanks if you can help decipher this.

Re: What needle?
Stock Kawasaki numbers are not the same as Keihin part numbers.
Look through some of the old threads and see if someone has posted a conversion chart. If you order Keihin parts, it will be BEP, CEL, DEK, etc. Kawasaki needles don't always correspond, but I think the Keihin needles do. I know there is no aftermarket replacement for the 1987 KDX200 for example.

Re: What needle?
The stock 1173K is equivalent to a BFP. JetsRUs p/n for the CEL is 017-017, the DEL is 017-029.

There's also a needle conversion guide posted here in this section as a sticky.

Re: What needle?
I saw the conversion chart but wasn't sure how to read it. Check me if I am wrong. To convert R1173K from the full OEM part number; 16009-1831 R1173K/2AFKP I came up with off the conversion table:Julien D wrote:There's also a needle conversion guide posted here in this section as a sticky.

11 = B
73 = P
K = F
BPF
My current KDX has this needle in it and the previous owner installed the FMF Gnarly Woods pipe and FMF silencer on it. Based on other threads I read about the pipe I should have a CEL or DEL needle.
Thanks everyone! I didn't want to purchase something I already had and it looks like I need to place the order for both the CEL and DEL needles. Based on what I also read I think I will end up with a 150/152 main and about a 40 or 42 pilot. I think that is where most fall into. I bought a whole range of jets just in case.
I learned a lot. I appreciate all the answers and feedback.

Re: What needle?
OK the other chart shows it is in a different order show it should be BFP as per what bufftester linked in his reply. Either way it is not the needle that I was looking for... LOL
