Not likely. Any Jap dealer or hardware store could match it close enough for a replacement.

Just as a review: THE BIKE WILL NOT RUN RIGHT WITH THE AIR FILTER OUT !!!

That clear stuff that came out of the carb might not all be gas.

Keep us posted.

I didn't try to run the bike with filter out. I didn't think that was smart but maybe I am wrong.

The clear liquid smelled like gas and was clear but I don't know how to tell if it was something else too.

Thanks, Jessica

Just another suggestion. Take it out and run the crap out of it. Mine runs bad after it sits and seems to benefit from a good hard run.

After it warms up, I find a 55 mph road and run it hard to the red line in all gears a few times and it seems to blow the crud out of it and it immediately runs better.

Just my 2 cents worth.

After draining the air box hose, draining the float bowl, putting a new plug in, putting 5 oz Berrymans in a full tank and changing the oil I ran the bike for about 30 miles last night, half of it pretty hard. It runs so much better. There is no popping/flapping on deceleration and it seems to start easier with the use of the choke. I think that I will just monitor the gas smell and liquid in the air box hose and see how it goes. Thanks everyone. Jessica
