check ebay? You might end up paying a bit for the freight? WHat is wrong with the ones you have? Can you rebuild them?

Keyster is a good choice.

I don t know if he ships internatioanl but you can ask: http://www.motorradbay.de/

You may be right about the need for carbs, but I'm curious as to why they need to be replaced.

thanks lupe ,but i need to buy on a us site because Europe shipping is way more expensive than us shipping. what do you tell me about these

,
it looks the kit comes with less parts than the one form motorradbay.de. should i get o more complete set??

you are talking about this 15$ kit? That's just a gasket and the float needle.

The interesting things are the idle mixture screw (right word?) and the main jet. And there are big differences between the float needles from different manufacturers.

But you are right, shipping is very expensive. Is there a keyster dealer in the US maybe?

If nothing is broken or worn out, then just clean them.

So the question is- what is broken or worn out?

some us manufacturer send me these, kit did some use it or know something about it?????

im not working on the carbs myself ,so i dont know what really the problem is . my mecanic told me to get the repaire kit or to replace them as we dont know wich the problem is yet.

That kit looks good.

If you do not know what might be wrong with your carbs, why did you give the maschine to your mechanic? What was the problem?
