thats not what i am saying. In dennis Kirks magazine they have part numbers for a slot head and a hex head. Can I use them. They also say they are a KJ Prefix and CR Prefix. Here are the item #'s. Just go to Denniskirk.com and type them in the search box, then tell me if i can use them.
Keihin Slot Head (KJ Prefix) Keihin Hex Head (Cr Prefix)
17-2401-138 for the Slot 17-2402-138 for the Hex
Thanks,
Steve

my friend had a jet kit for his dyna jet kit for his 400ex and just for ha ha's i tried to put a 134 main into my 250X and it fit perfectly. i have been running on it since. i dont know if this is bad or not but it has never run as good as it does now, and the plug looks fine. it screwed rite in not tough or cross threaded.
