well as far as my understanding goes (someone pls correct me if im wrong) the only reason your bike must be jetted is if you put a full exhaust system on , but with just a slip on it should still run fine without being jetted. my 97 with a yoshi pipe runs great and i havent jetted the carbs. maybe they were just lazy and never put one in... did u put one in and see how its runs ? id start off by doing that then figure out where to go from there

Me too, I have a Yoshi slip on and it said it had a jet kit, but when I got it it had the stock can on it so ...? From what I heard the jet kit is not really neccessary. Yank it out and throw in a K&N! Then you'll see a difference!
