Hi Marcel

Thank you for your input. I reached out to Suncoast cycle sports but they didn’t have this part.

Due to time constraints I ended up fabricating something myself instead of ordering from the shop but thanks for the reference there too.

I used a stainless M5x0.8 bolt with hex head, cut the thread length to ~5mm length and drilled a 3mm deep 2.5mm hole. I had to add an additional washer to ensure the jet needle didn’t bottom out against the bolt blind hole.

I would have used a hollow stainless M5 bolt and just spot welded the hex bolt shut if the delivery would have been faster.

The motorcycle seems to be running fine but a longer ride will confirm.

Thanks again for the help.
