About Mikuni
Mikuni has supplied carburetors and fuel-system components to the motorcycle industry for decades, and its HSR series remains a common choice for carbureted Evolution and Twin Cam V-twins where a clean, tunable fuel curve matters more than electronics.
These Mikuni Bleed Pilot Jets in #17.5 size are provided in a 4-pack, specifically for VM28/486 carburetors on V-twin motorcycles. These jets are crucial for metering fuel at idle and part-throttle engine speeds, ensuring your bike runs cleanly and smoothly through the low-RPM range. Correct pilot jetting is fundamental for optimal carburetor function.
Why riders pick this

Dial in your V-twin's low-end performance with these Mikuni Bleed Pilot Jets. The #17.5 orifice size offers precise fuel metering for VM28/486 carburetors, directly influencing your engine's idle quality and response at partial throttle. This 4-pack is an ideal solution for riders and shops requiring multiple jets for fine-tuning or as readily available spares, ensuring consistent performance and optimal fuel delivery.
Optimized Low-End Fuel Delivery
- #17.5 bleed pilot jet size for precise metering
- Designed exclusively for Mikuni VM28/486 carburetors
- Ensures smooth, clean running at idle and low throttle
- Improves part-throttle transitions
- Supplied as a convenient 4-pack for comprehensive tuning
Critical for Carburetor Health
Pilot jets play a vital role in how your carbureted V-twin starts, idles, and transitions through the lower RPM range. If your motorcycle exhibits rough idling, sputtering at light throttle, or poor cold-starting characteristics, adjusting the pilot jet size is often the first step in diagnosis and correction. While these jets are a direct fit for VM28/486 carbs, remember that a complete carburetor service or a dyno tune may be necessary to fully optimize your fuel system after any jetting modifications.
