Anyone got experience with power jets?

The Mikuni website begs to differ "Kit may be installed easily on TM and VM series Motorcycle and Snowmobile carburetors."
And I spotted a DT125LC with one fitted recently.
To be clear we are not talking about main or pilot, or any other internal jet on the carb, Its an additonal Jet that bolts into the inlet flange before the butterfly and operates at WOT. Just how the main and pilot overlap this overlaps with the main jet for more top end fueling control.
There around a score so I've ordered one to try anyway, will report back with findings

Exactly my point. The people that designed the carb also sell the kit, so there must be a reason they make it. Inherent design flaws?
Anyhow its all hearsay until fitted and tested, we could sit here and chat about it until the cows come home. Real world experience is what is needed.

The carbs that Yamaha use are not the same. They are made by Mikuni but they are made to order. The power jet has no ‘brass screw in’ adjustability. It’s just a casting. There are a few other differences like having heater pipes and lack of air~jet brass screw adjustability...
