Would anyone be able to direct me to a cheaper carb; everything I find is hundreds of dollars. Whom ever was the previous owner of the bike replaced the air regulator pin with metal rather than brass and it has corroded to the point when I gave it a twist it turned to dust.... Literally, and i'm afraid I don't have the tools or time necessary to get it out.

Here's a good suggestion: go to ebay, look for a set of 2002 thru 2004 carbs for a (EX500) Ninja 500....larger CFM carbs (37 CFM)...better than the 454 carbs (34 CFM)....I know, does not sound like much difference, but it is. I did this years ago.

Perfect fit, much cheaper than looking up the original part itself; thanks again!

Not sure, but I think the 09 carbs are even smaller CFM than the stock 454 carbs.

Thanks I'm gonna look into that if I can't get these carbs sorted out I'm having some popping at idle and kinda breaking up on giving throttle then clears up at 5k or so so I'm gonna put them in my HF heated ultrasonic cleaner I'm gonna try pine sol soak. Should I dilute with water or use it straight?
