Needles I have that have multiple grooves have them 1mm apart. Methods vary, but you can get 1/2mm adjustments with 1/2mm shims or other nifty methods. But any shimming more than 1/2mm makes no sense.
I have a 2007 ninja 250. Can anyone confirm that the needles aren't stock by the photo? It's pretty high res so you should be able to see all the grooves. I can snap more pics of the carbs while they're out of the bike... Or better yet if anyone knows how to ID them... They are definitely Keihin cvk from the markings, but idk other than that. All the parts matched up from the rebuild kit I got for the proper carbs.
