[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 690547, member: 16552"] The alpha at the end of a kawi needle designates 'L1', or length of the needle from the clip end to a spot on the taper where the diameter is 2.515mm. Commonly called the 'straight section', but in fact is not exactly how long the straight section [b]IS[/b] (not to be confusing..just to state the fact of the matter) An 'N' is 'longer' than a 'K' by 1.8mm or two clip positions (45.35mm is an 'N', 43.55mm is an 'L'). So...a 'K' on clip-3 is equal to an 'N' on clip-5. Said another way, with the two needles set to the same clip, the 'N' will be a good bit more lean (two clips) than the 'K' in the 1/8-to-3/4 throttle range. To get the the 'clip-2' that I believe is a common rec for kawi needle users, you would put the 'N' on clip-4. But, I'm not a 'you guys' that use a kawi needle. I use keihin needles, currently a dek-4, but not on an oem carb. Point is my reference does not come from 'what I use'. okeydokey? [/QUOTE]
