| Earlier this season i purchased a set of needles from XSJohn that he makes himself, I am posting to tell you these are no joke, 2 differant needles and my carbs are tuned perfectly. I had some bad running conditions and after installing these needles and following his instructions for tuning my bike started on the second kick and idles smooth. When i took it for a ride not one pop-boggle-or misfire occured. We need to praise guys like this that take there time to find the science of some perfectly tapered needles, i am posting to pay hommage to XSjohn and the great work he does, please feel free to post your feedback if you have also purchased a set of these needles and help spread the word that "These Needles are No Joke, Just True performance!"

| I also wanted to add that XSJohn replies to emails asap, and went back and forth with me a dozen times giving advice and inspiration to get my bike running mint. Product support is a major plus!!! So get off your ass and buy these needles!

Maybe a job as a psychiatrist? Personally I get my therapy riding my bikes.
