    Keihin CR carbs 31s or 33s?

    or find a good used 1150 basket with the HD backing plate kit already installed. a new billet basket ready to bolt in will be near as much as the carbs cost....very pricey!

    Keihin CR carbs 31s or 33s?

    IMO the basket modification is best left to professionals. there is drilling and grinding and welding plus making sure the assembly is bottomed out and clamped tight before tacking the rivets plus a really good tig welder(person) is needed. i always did my own then took it to pearson or mcintosh...

    Keihin CR carbs 31s or 33s?

    i tried 34RS on an 1150 and wasn't as happy as i was with the 36mmRS carbs. these carbs are easy to tune(at least at my altitude..1000' or less/more depending on conditions). do not try and use an air box...use either APE or K&N offset ovals. what is 3 tenths in the 1/4 mile equal in horsepower...

    Keihin CR carbs 31s or 33s?

    depending on gearing...if staying stock gearing the power is in the mid and top end with these carbs. these carbs let a person grow if you make changes in the future.... as with any mechanical carb....if you grab a handful at low revs you will get a slight bog...above 4 grand or so you will be...

    Keihin CR carbs 31s or 33s?

    trust me i have done many....day to day is fine/fun and fast...less MPG is the only downside. if you want to blow your basket a part and through the cases just add a set of hot rod carbs and a pipe. my brother blew a basket in a brand new 1150E with pipes and a jet kit. FYI tune and test night...

    don't forget to add an HD backing plate to your basket or bad things will happen fast.

    Keihin CR carbs 31s or 33s?

    mikuni RS36mm are perfect for a stock 1150 with a pipe. easy to tune and maybe less money. i have did many like this...turns an 1150 into a near monster(seat of the pants) feeling anyways.

    RS carbs

    use what you have... you can also install a vacuum cap over the right side fuel inlet and only use the left side and run to your single petcock. i have done this on street and drag raced bikes with no bad results or problems.

    Suzuki Clutch Cable vs Motion Pro - Stick with Suzuki

    in my experience motion pro clutch cables stretch on large bikes with a heavier pull.........i only buy one in a pinch.
