    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1982 katana carbs

I am restoring a 1982 1000cc katana and the carbs are junk. I have a set of 34 flatslides from a different bike that fit. How do I set these carbs up to so they will work on the katana? What jet sizes should i go with? Someone told me that the UK version of this buke came with flatslides so I'm hoping they can work. Thanks for the help!
 
Everywhere except the US got smoothbore carbs on the Katana 1000.
So the settings on them are irrelevant to your setup.
What are the 34mm flatslides off??
If it is a newer 750,fit them up and try to start the bike, then you get to learn the "art" of the plug chop.
More later gotta go to work.

I bolted them up and it started and idled fine, but revs up slow. What is the ART OF THE PLUG CHOP?
 
If these are RS flatslides you should be using a push pull cable and not the stock pull only cable because the throttle can stick open and ruin your whole day. If they are off a GSXR I am not sure about the cable requirement.
