probably has a 42 pilot in it. before replacing it, try to see if mixture screw can compensate for it, if not go up a size. then again, what rpm are trying to idle at. do not over look the air filter.

Also, dont idle theze bikes low, something about the oil pump needing higher RPM's. If you idle it to sound like Potato, Potato, you may have oil starvation. just my irrelevant $.02
