hex head..

all you had to do was take the float bowl off yours and look.

no i need to take all the plastic off plus the gas tank to get to my carb. but any keihin hex head will work?

The main jet is a slot.

The main jets can be either a slot or hex depending on the year.

Older ones like mine (1998) use the Keihin Long Hex Type. Newer models use a slotted type.

Not sure which year they switched. Just get your local dealership parts desk to tell you which kind your year model has.

I'm pretty sure that the '01 still used the long hex type.

I just said F it and bought a Dynojet jet kit it was cheaper than buying 4 jets from my dealer and come with eight plus the needle and something else. lol :confused:
