NeedSpeed --
I have a 2000, which is probably unchanged from your bike.
The carb is a pumper carb. I have been playing with the jetting on my carb as well. With the snorkel and baffle removed, I raised the needle one notch, but I think I'm going to go one more. The bike pops a bit around 1/2 throttle.
As far as jets are concerned, Yamaha does not list different jets for the bike. But the smae style of carb is also on the 95 XT600. The carb is a different size, but the jets are the same. Also, I've been told the 6mm Keihin round jets will also work, but the sizing is different. You will need to go down 1 or 2 sizes to use the Keihin jets.

Pain is inevitable.
Suffering is optional.
