Re: RS34s on gpz/ z1000j / ELR -- fuel tap ?

RS 36's on a standard tank and tap on a J1 and you get about three mm's and thats with the back of the tank lifted by about 1/4 of an inch. Yes to 'push pull throttle and cables' and there are two different mounting boots for different applications. One is more suited to RS carbs stubs than the othe...

Re: Keihn 1200 SI16 carbs - which z or bike?

I have only seen Mikuni CV carbs, BS34mm spec'd for the J series 1000 and 1100's.
If those are 32mm internal they could be a close match for Z750.

Re: Charging

Not seen these before. A bit spendy but i guess it depends what you want to achieve. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116721173447?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5339055780&toolid=20006&_ul=gb&customid=EAIaIQobChMI7OripYGujwMVa5RQBh1HpSxfEAQYAiABEgKzWPD_Bw...

Re: Much cooler downpipe

It looks like the late version has an extra part, a rod or perhaps guide pin as they call it. Not present on the early version.

Re: BS34 Carbs ?

I can only imagine there is one type for KZ1000 for 1981 there being only two bikes that fit that description; J models and customs. That said, there are slight differences across the 'series' like different top caps, polished or otherwise float bowls and of course different jetting and anti tamper ...

Re: RS34 Flatsides leaking

I was dogged by this for quite a spell. It turns out that having bought several eyewateringly expensive float needle and seat combos, it was just the 'O' rings that surround the seat part. A couple of £ each from Motocarb and all good again. Mine were like cork when i took them off!! On the one occa...

Re: RS34 Flatslides carbs parts help

I have bought genuine Mikuni parts from Motocarb in recent times for my flatslides but not these specific parts. Drop him an e-mail with all the details and he may be able to help.

Re: Gpz1100 a1 crank

There are three, as far as i know, models with the Unitrak 1100 ZX11 engine and crank. Unitrak, 1100R1 and the later USA spectre 1100. The labelling, descriptions, identification of some of the Unitrak (UT) cranks on ebay seems quite misleading in some and plain wrong in others! That welded crank ma...

Re: High compression issue

Hi Scott, its not just your HC pistons that are to blame, its just as much to do with your cams and cam timing increasing cranking compression pressure! Battery internal configuration gives XYZ parameters and one variable is CCA. This can be increased by manipulating the AH capacity and other design...

Re: METER,FUEL - 28011-1032 - Kawasaki

Did you mean this?? Shared with several models if this is what you were after.
If yours doesnt return to zero when turned off, that is correct. They dont have a return spring!
