EDIT [im a] thanks matt
it gets misused alot on ebay and the likes, to mean an original part [not always new or genuine], but on that bike since the seller owned it

You're half right. OEM does mean original equipment manufacturer. Original equipment manufacturer is any company that manufactures original stock parts for any particular brand. Such as keihin, mikuni, shindy, showa, nissin, ask, etc.Originally Posted by atcmatt

Yes , really. It's called experience. You should try it sometime.

Yup I'm sure that you've experienced loads of problems from all of the many brands of jets that you've tried. I guess keihin and mikuni are the only companies with a clue. You're probably right. I'm going to go buy and trike and meticulously and restore it with all eom parts and look at it in my living room so I can get some experience. Because lord knows the only way to know anything is to do it exactly as the 3ww crew would

I've never had a problem with Aftermarket jets. I've never used aftermarket jets. <-- i know better lol
I solder/drill oem jets. After finding the size that works best. I buy the OEM jet that matches. I do own a partial jet kit that covers most sizes I use or need to jet with. 170-330 with Mikunis, 150-180 with Keihin.
It's very cheap, and simple to modify them. Get a microdrill bit set, solder the jet up, drill it out. You can find cross references for jet sizes and holes for each manufacture out there. If you have a part store out there close by (lucky me!) Just take the bit and find the jet it fits.
Never had a problem with this method. It's cheap. It works. It saves driving back and forth trying to source jets.
I just wanna go fast. If your not first, your last!!

Ask the old timers about my early days and my arc welded pipe I made for my YT175. It ran, but it was uglier than the toothless meth head grandma behind the k mart down south.

Yep. $2 is not worth having to wait for another order of jets to come when the cheap aftermarket jets aren't sized correctly. Some of us do this stuff more than others. Also, some of us get dealer prices on OEM, so we don't need to waste time with cheap jets.

In this case, Genuine means Keihin brand.
Yes, he should buy the Keihin jets to put in his Keihin carb.
9 times out of 10 'OEM equivalent' means 'Chinese knockoff.'
In some cases, that's good enough.
In this case, stick with the name brand.
