Frequently Asked Questions
The number indicates the jet size/orifice diameter. Larger numbers = richer fuel mixture. The 370 is a mid-range main jet size commonly used for street and trail applications.
Signs you need rejetting: poor fuel economy, hesitation on acceleration, black sooty spark plugs (too rich), or white/fouled plugs (too lean). A 370 is suitable for stock or mildly modified engines.
Hex jets have 6 flat sides for wrench grip, making them easier to install/remove without slipping. Round jets require a specialized jet tool. Hex design is more user-friendly for home mechanics.
No - verify your carburetor model first. The F4/042 designation indicates compatibility with specific Mikuni carburetors. Check your carb's part number before ordering.
Individual jets are available. Many tuners buy multiple sizes (360, 370, 380) to dial in the perfect mixture for their specific engine and riding conditions.
