Yes, and for a stock 250 Ninj #38 Keihin pilot jet use a .014" guitar string (steel, not nylon, duh) its rigid enough to allow some penetration power to "poke" while also sized correctly to prevent reaming or mauling. I cringe when I read folks blindly reaming jets, not knowing ID of jet nor the OD of the "wire" they have chosen.

Once you have provided a "pathway", hit it with cab cleaner again to assure no peripheral deposits remain above or below or around the actual metering orifice.

Be careful, the string will deeply pierce flesh, ask any geetar player!
