    Bandit 600 carbs

    Is this correct,

    Will these carbs fit a GS1000 and give an increase in power?

    If they are the BST36SS (called slingshots, they also came in a 38mm), then yes. I know they came on some Bandits. The set I have are from an early GSXR.

      Thanks for the reply.
      Any adapting needed? different boots? Cables?

        The choke mechanism is built into the carbs (on my set), so you can lose the choke cable. May need throttle cable from a GSXR or a bandit for the carb end to be right, boots will need to be fairly new, and probably heated with a hair dryer to soften them up enough to jam that 2mm bigger throat in there.

          You'll need some K&N pod filters and a jet kit.

            Early bandit 6 carbs are keihin cvk32 you will get a minor power gain from these after much messing with jets & mixture screws

            Considering all the hassle involved you may as well get some mikuni bst36ss carbs from a bandit 12 or 750f (katana) or even bst34ss from a 86-88 gsxr11 or 1100F (katana) any of these will give a significant improvement in power once dialed in

              Wasn't sure if the 600 carbs were the BST36 or not. I know the 1200 are. From the picture those look more like BST36 than Keihin. Maybe the seller is wrong about being from a 600..

                its a common mistake to make i'm guessing the seller has it wrong & they are bst31ss or 33's from early or late gsx600f (katana) although its difficult to tell from a single picture

                  The seller says they're from a 97/98 model, would that help identify them?
                  Would the bst31ss or 33's still work on a GS1000?

                  Thanks for everyone's help here.
