I have the TBS needles and the bike runs fine. I had to go to a smaller main jet because I was too rich at the top end. check the tech vault. there is a place online to order parts now.

Every bike is different. My bike didn't like the tbs needles and never did run excatly right with them. Tryed many diffent combinations of jets with them. Ended up back with stock needles and shims.

I saw better mid range power with the TBS. They should work fine with 125's.

I finally popped in my TBS needles that had been sitting on the shelf for a month. It worked great, I had to raise the idle speed, she was a little hard to start were I had the idle. Also anyone in NH have a carb balancer I can use?
OH, 05 speedy TORL, 125 mains 3 turns, a little popping.

The TBS did me well in the mid response . They even helped point out I need bigger pilots. (backfiring at closed throttle/decel/down shift)
