Frequently Asked Questions
The jet needle controls the fuel-air mixture during mid-range throttle positions (roughly 1/4 to 3/4 throttle). Different needle tapers and positions affect how lean or rich the mixture is in this range.
Replace if the needle is bent, has visible wear grooves, or if you're experiencing mid-range performance issues like hesitation, bogging, or poor fuel economy that can't be solved by adjusting the needle position.
Yes. Moving the needle clip up (toward the tapered end) leans the mixture; moving it down richens it. This allows fine-tuning without replacing the needle.
No. The FJ8-8DDY01-98 is specific to certain Mikuni carburetor models. Verify compatibility with your exact carburetor model before purchasing.
OEM needles provide stock performance characteristics. Aftermarket needles may offer different taper profiles for tuning purposes (leaner or richer mid-range response).
