Hi Suzuki guys,
A very big thank you goes to James for helping out with a needle. I was being ham fisted with my old one whilst inspecting pit marks on the needle which I had never seem before. I too tried to work out tapers to match up with no success.
Cheers
Tim

Do you mean the 'jet needle' as apposed to the 'needle jet'?, another forum suggested try this crowd http://www.smebike.com/index.php?route=common/home
Have a look through these to maybe compare dimensions & might find something close. https://www.ebay.com/sch/Mikuni-Motorcycle-Jet-Needles/177773/bn_33498779/i.html?_fsrp=1

Part number is 13383-13A00 jet needle. Indeed they are extremely rare.
-
Better be more careful with mine when i pull it apart next time didn't realize they were so hard to get what about an necj needle from an rm250 have to be close
-
not a lot of similarly btw the ts x and the rm. have you ridden them?
-
I have , I owned an 87 rm250 in the past and I own a ts250x 84 model , both have very similar flat slide mikuni but after looking at the parts list the needles for the rm are discontinued for it as well and the later ones have a keihn carb which the necj needle i suggested is from , so not much help there , maybe mikuni oz might suggest a similar replacement , the TM series carbs look the same

I had exactly the same problem with the carbs on my triples . All jets and needles are Kawasaki parts and most obsolete or out of range . There are only used mangled parts available on the net from USA or UK at high cost . Got 3 new round slides from Sudco ( they look very similar to the OEM H2 carbs) . Now I can buy all the parts for tuning , cheap and new . The old 30 mm carbs went on Ebay and I got nearly as much for them as I paid for the new 32 mm Round slides. That made me and some purist happy . Just a thought .

I had the same problem with a SP370 jet needle It's a special made for suzuki part, not a standard mikuni part. Allens Performance knew the profile from the coding and also knew that there was no mikuni part which matched, or was even close as it was a double taper needle
