Rd350 needle jet

rickdecollo · August 13, 2019, 06:35:07 PM

Hello
I've got 3 rd350s, 2-'74s and a 73. All but one bike has y30 needle jets. I'm assuming these are aftermarket... I believe I bought from hvc. Is there any difference between these and a stock 5i4 needle? Someone told me not to use aftermarket needles but I can not locate the 5i4 needle. Does anybody have any input on this?
Thanks much!!

That sounds like a Keyster part number and should immediately be hammered into a wall or recycled.

On the other hand, if you bikes run fine with those needles, I'd suggest you just keep running them.

I have not measured a Y30 needle but the after market needles I have measured vary from slightly different to totally different to the OEM needles they were supposed to replace. I don't have an alternate needle to the 5I4. The needle closest to that is 6DL30 and it's 5mm longer and would probably need to be shortened.

Thanks for the reply. My other bike runs ok but this one has some issues and I would
Like new needles. Where could I find some used parts? I would think these would be everywhere
