can't find correct needle jet

[MATT0084]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my 2007 Yamaha DT125RE (DE06) with a Mikuni TM28SS carburetor, and I'm having trouble finding the correct replacement needle jet.
I'm specifically looking for a Q2-M (#939) needle jet, but I haven't been able to find one for sale individually.
I've found several carburetor repair kits advertised as compatible with Yamaha DT125R and DT125RE models from different years, but I'm worried that the needle jet might differ between the older and newer models because of the different yamaha part numbers, even though the kits claim to fit both.
Does anyone know where I can buy the correct needle jet with shipping to italy, or whether the needle jets included in these repair kits are actually interchangeable with the original Q2-M (#939)?
Thanks in advance for any help

I've always found the Mikuni stuff a little harder to locate spares for personally.

The only real change I was aware of for the Yamaha DTR (excluding the very early '88 models that round a 26mm round slide) is the change from 240 main jet on the DTR to 210 on the REs.

With that in mind, I'd say you're probably okay to go with this needle jet kit you've found.

Is it a genuine kit? Or is it aftermarket? If it's aftermarket, then it's almost irrelevant as it won't be perfectly matching to the OEM one anyway.

Hi, thank you for your answer! It is in fact an aftermarket kit but it comes from China, and I read some reviews saying that not all the parts fit correctly, so I'm a little worried about buying it. I'm also concerned because I saw a photo in one of the reviews showing that the needle jet appears to be slightly shorter than the original one.

Otherwise, I found some decent-looking kits on eBay, but they ship from the UK, and with shipping costs and import taxes, they end up costing more than €50 and i dont know if they are worth it.
