Hi there.
The 05~08 KLE 500 main jets are different sizes, namely #95 and #92 for the left and right carb respectively. Kawasaki have larger jet options for these carbs. I would start off with some mild jetting and see how it goes. I have ordered some jets for mine and am still waiting.
Start off with installing #100 and #98 for the left and right carb, also install one 3mm spacer washer under each jet needle. This should improve things quite a bit as with having a free flowing zorst and DNA filter you will definately need to do some jetting as the bike is probably running a bit on the lean side. Alternatively if you have some cash then you can dyno-tune the bike with the profesionals. You can also read my other thread here: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ing-carb-41935
The Kawasaki OEM part numbers for the jets are as follows:
Jet-Main #100 - 92063-1006
Jet-Main #98 - 92063-1005
Cheers.
BTW. I have a spare parts manual for the 06~07 KLE 500 if you're interested. Can email it.
