132.5 is the main from the factory. Anything else and someone has been in there. Pilot is a #35
Yes, so I have one of these bikes. Clean those carbs very well and be sure to test the float shut off valve by turning the carbs upside down and blowing into the fuel line. You should not be able to move any air, flip it over and try again, air should move thru now.

Read up online on cleaning carbs and the bits to pay attention to. You may need to soak some parts overnight. Clean everything that the carbs touch before you remove them to minimize dirt, use wd40 to lube up the intake side of the carb and the airbox side as well to make it easy to put them back into place.
