    Canadian vs US carb specs

    I bought a set of 1989 gsxr1100 BST36SS carbs off ebay a while ago to try out on my 821100EZ. They are of the Canadian variety with the following differences from the US version according to my spec sheets.

    Jet needle US model - 5D42 Canadian model - 5E56-3rd
    Needle jet US model - 0-8 Canadian model 0-9
    Pilot jet US model - #30 Canadian model #40
    Pilot air jet US model - 1.35 mm Canadian model - 1.4 mm
    Pilot screw - needs drilling Canadian model - no drilling necessary

    Should I convert them back to the US specs? Do you see some potential issues? I plan to get pod filters and a jet kit as well.

    i would rock the candian specs they are tuned a little better since canada didn't have a strick emissions like us. think of it like a stg 1 kit.

      Yeah CANADA!

      So the next time I'm in a bar and I am talking to an American I will tell him Canada Rocks because the Suzuki GS has better carb jetting then the US GS and he will know exaxtly what I am talking about and feel ashamed...just joking

        Just for your information...I spoke with dynojet and their Canadian kit and US kit are exactly the same.
