Are they the standard ones, 'cause I've finished with the spare set of 5K carbs, if that helps

yeah it's got the standard ones but they seem to be worn just wondered where people got their new ones from as i've drawn a blank!

These are the ones I bought from Japan

They supposedly came from a bike with 16k KMs

They cost me about £45 plus shipping (seemed like a good idea at the time!). Make me an offer....

Set A Needle sets are listed on Lings Honda (01379 853 213) parts list, but you should call to confirm. Both at £33

Set A
16012-KV3-770
16027-KV3-770

Set B
16012-KV3-771
16027-KV3-771

how do you tell the differences between A and B??
just had the needles out of my carbs they're marked BPJ and BPK( which could explain why it's running rich ) but the carb spec sheet says they should be BPG and BPH but don't know how that relates to specs A and B?
any ideas ? Confused

Dont you get them in the hrc jet kit?

yeah but chances of an hrc jet kit for the mc18 are slim to none!!

I think you'll find you can use the hrc jet kit on an mc 18 i did.Look in the carb section in the workshop mc18 and 21 use the same kit.

I think you meant to say, "I think you'll find you can use the MC21 HRC jet kit on an MC18, I did.".

found out that needles for the rs125 have a similar code to the mc18 needles.
mc18 are 16012-kv3-770 and rs125 are 16012-nx4-770.

will these be the same parts?

the rs parts are only a tenner the mc18 ones are £33
