Scavange (spell check) gas easier/more freely so it draws in more fuel?
If it´s really rich now and you don´t have a K&N filter you can probably get a few ponies more....and open up the airbox :-)

Tubes are 20 quid each mate, Yamaha or factory pro. I would be amazed if yours weren't showing signs of wear. Mine were at 16K. Symptoms are very jerky, on-off throttle from closed & poor mpg.

I've heard rumour that they can wear as early as 5,000kms.
I had mine done 2 or 3 years ago and replaced with Factory Pro and I'm sure mine are worn again at 72,000kms. Might try Dynojets next.

I just changed the tubes & nothing else. Can't see the needles wearing out on standard brass tubes. They say to change float bowl gaskets but if they're not damaged ???

No part number sorry but you might find this thread useful when you replace them.

The needle jets or emulsion tubes aren't easy to identify from the parts list either. :x
