i take a 17 mm wrench and take off the nut. then i get 1/4 deep well socket for a small drive rachet and take the jet out.

it would take skill, but you could do it. Just make sure your tools are really small....I am sure it could be done;)

yeah, actually it isn't that hard. i use a 3/8 inch rachet. it would probably be easier with a 1/4 inch drive but i haven't tried it. you might just have to push the black hose down a bit. i think the black hose i am talking about might be for crank case ventilation but i don't remember right now without looking at the bike. just turn the fuel off, unskrew the 17mm bolt on the bottom of the bowl and unskrew the mainjet with a 6mm socket.
