Hmmm. My SUDCO catalog says that is a BGP.
The letters stand for taper, length, and diameter, in that order.
Your 72 you were talking about would be a BGN. I will repeat tho, that the 73 OEM needle is larger in diameter and therefore will lean out the mid-range more than the 72. BTW, here is a link to a page with the chart (towards the bottom) and some tuning info. The charts look like a direct lift from the SUDCO catalog, pg 68.

So what do I need to order?if 72 is a little fatter fine.so what part number on jets r us do I need to order?
I don't see a BGP listed, that's a bummer because my best suggestion would be to get both and try them out. The BGN (72) is here: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/w...737ba21b0819893872a305aebd502692faa8662ceacaf
Cool site, I've never actually been there before. LOL, I see they have the same chart.
BTW, if you decide you really want that BGP needle, try SUDCO or Carb Parts Warehouse. They are the distributors for Keihin parts in the US. Everyone else buys from them.

Dude that site u listed is a paypal account.I seen no carb info on there.so what ur saying is I need a bgn from jets r us?ill go witb ur suggestion of a 72 since its getting cool here.
Well, when I copied it, it was a direct checkout link from their site that wanted you to pay by paypal. Now it is different. Oh well.
Hey while we are on the subject its getting cool here 80s in the day 50s at night and I ride day and night will these 72s be ok for this weather?I'm ready to ride this bike been tears since I rode a dirt bike!
You will have to be the judge. Keep an eye on the plug. Having a smaller needle will richen the mid compared to the top, but it won't have any effect on the top end or mixture overall. That will take a larger main, of course.
Well I've been tinkering and cleaning and when I did a compression test I inspected the plug to give me an idea as to how this beast ran last time it did run and it looks great!so i m hoping all I need is this carb needle and a basic overall tune up new plug and fluids.been sitting all summer the guy said and I kicked it 3 times and got 165psi.I'm going to put a shot of premix oil down the plug hole and see how much she jumps.any other tips or ideas you can think of while I'm waiting on parts let me know.
Typically, you kick as many as 20 times or until it stops rising, while holding the throttle open. 165psi is sweet for three kicks. Quite likely it has increased compression over stock. Good luck.
Jets r us don't have the needles where else can I get them before the weekend?now I'm desperate I'm trying to get this going for the weekend.I even took vacation time to get this going.
Sudco International - Modern and Vintage Replacment and Performance parts for Street Bikes, Dirt Bikes, ATVs and Personal Watercraft I got pretty good service out of them when I called on the phone. You might have to pay extra for fast shipping tho. 
Since you are closer to the east coast, you might want to try Carburetor Parts Warehouse CPW is the east coast distributor for Keihin.
