Knight, I've got a little update. I took it to a shop that Kawasaki recommended to me. The guy told me he wasn't sure if it was the jets or not, but there was another piece inside the carb that is vacuum operated that slides when more throttle is applied, and allows more fuel flow, unfortunately I've slept since I talked to him, and can't remember the name of the part. He said he could re-jet it for me, but thinks this other part might be more of the problem. I have just found a kit through Dynojet that is for my bike, for use with a pipe, and individual filters, which is what my bike has. Looks like this kit is $115, but he's telling me if it needs the other piece he mentioned, they are somewhere around $100 each, and all 4 carbs may need them replaced. Does what he's telling me sound about right? Also, I'm shopping on bikebandit.com, are there other sites you may recommend?
Thanks again!
Matt
