Pressed-in jets removed without probs, thanks again for the hints!
I used 2.5mm drill bit and 3mm tap (drilled approx. 5mm deep).

Also XJR1300 swingarm and FZR100 USD front-end fitted with 17" wheels. Still some electric work to do (main fuses relocation under to right side cover) and new oil pipes to be fitted.

Cheers,
piit

Then you need to tap the pressed-in jet a few threads. You don't have to drill a pilot hole, the jet has several mm of 'pilot hole' already drilled in it, before you get to the actual #35 passage. I've had a couple of guys tell me that the 3mm was pretty hard to get tapped without drilling out a bit, but the 4-40 will tap very easily.

Anyway, get as many threads tapped into the jet as possible, thread the nut up on the screw, put a washer on and then screw the assembly down into the threads you tapped. The tower the jet is pressed into makes a perfect pulling platform. Just tighten the nut down on the tower and the jet will pull right out. I've never ruined a jet this way and never had one I couldn't get out. And I've removed dozens of them.

Then you can properly clean the jets and the passages behind it. Just make sure you get all the debris blown out of the carb body. Then you need a small brass drift to reinstall. Just tap them back in with the drift. Good luck

Yup...... Dave did this right on the sidewalk at the Mega Rally in Atlanta. He made it look simple.....but it was his experience that did it so very well.

Thanks I like them very much too. The front pipes are Marving and mufflers are Micron originally made for 900 Honda Hornet.
Very nice surprise was that I could utilized the mufflers own connection points.
Attached couple more pics. The link pipes were made by my friend from the SS, nice work from him.
