    Mikuni carbs

    Hi to all, yesterday 16th sept i was at an autojmble and see a set of mikuni carbs so i asked what the price was,
    he asked me what bike they were for i said a gs750 of course he looked at me and said these were off a z1000,

    I did,nt buy these as i was unsure if i could fit these on a gs so my question is could i have fitted these or are they different to the ones on the gs, also i see rear disc pads which were clearly marked suzuki/kawasaki z series

    Just need to know so i,ll be a bit more prepared next time i go to an auto jumble.

    many thanks,mark.

    The carbs have the same spacing so will fit. However, the jetting (and slide cutaway) is different and you'll possibly have a job dialling them in for your bike. There are plenty of used 750 carbs around anyway.

    A lot of bikes share the same disc pads - calipers being made by Tokico (spelling?) and not the bike manufacturer but there are plenty of places selling them listed specifically for your bike so if you're not sure you can avoid the risk by buying those.

    Was it Kempton yesterday btw? Any good?

        Are you quite certain that vm26 installed on a kawasaki 1000 are not just jet changes to a suzi 750? (And probably choke actuator) I know going from a gs750 to gs1000, the vm26 just get different pikots and mains.

          The GS750 has different needle jets and jet needles to the GS1000 as well as mains and pilots plus some had different slide cutaways, depending on year.
