I just purchased (ebay) a DGH needle to replace the DDJ that my Quad Vent PWK carb came with. (for my 250R). Ive had that needle in for 2yrs. maybe-anyway, I always heard that the DDJ needle does not give good tuning results for a 250R. My bike has ran pretty good- but could improve I'm sure. So I now ordered the DGH which is one of the 3 recommended & safe choice. However looking at the Keihin Needle Chart , the main difference is the length on the DGH! But the needle I got is the same length exactly -(they look identical!)? Not sure whats up here? Could I have got a reject or crap copy?? Can anyone give me the length of their DGH please?- I dont know if to send it back....:wondering Thanks

The chart shows the middle digit (length) for the DDJ at 36.80 & 39.85 for the DGH. Its definately NOT mm though- (It doesnt state)??? Mine (both) measure 65.5mm

This is the baggie it came with-seems authentic? -Not sure if it could be a screw up? If someone can please give me the length in mm of their own DGH needle ,-that would be great...I cant find the spec anywhere.Thanks

I was about to say nope- but NOW is when I noticed on one of those charts how the "L1" (length) spec measured & it is NOT the total length which is what I assumed was different. -Nevermind:rolleyes:..... I didnt expect them to look SO identical.... I guess its fine...
Thank you for responding.
