    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.

Hey guys! I haven't been here in awhile, so I've got a new screen name. I need to rebuild or relpace my carbs. Where can I get a rebuild kit for these carbs? Do I just have to order everything individually from bikebandit? Also what are a good set of relpacement carbs? What is the advantage of going with flatsides, and what ARE flatsides? Is there any performance benefit? Also I've got a supertrapp header now, and I need a can for it. Anybody got any recomendations?

I've been searching on here for awhile, and I haven't found the answers I'm needing...

Thanks guys!
 
There are CV type flatslides and flatslides such as Mikuni RS Flatslides that have mechanical slides and no butterfly in the carb. The throttle acts directly on the slide with no butterflies to interfere with flow. The RS flatslides are performance carbs. If you want to go with CV carbs the Slingshot carbs off of the late '80s or early '90s GSXRs are the way to go. Just do a little research on exactly which GSXR models had the Slingshots.

Flatslides have cube shaped slides rather than round slides. They give the fuel mixture a shorter path to the cylinders with less turbulence. http://scootrs.com/tech.cfm?tip=carbslide

One of these might be able to help with parts.

Thanks for the info Billy! So you would recommend just going with the flatsides right? I will start looking for some of those. What size should I be looking for?

Thank ya much!
 
Carb Kit sources

Carb Kit sources

I've found that the only carb kits available are from your local Parts Unlimited or TuckerRocky distributor. They aren't cheap but cost far less than buying piece meal through BikeBandit. I've got about 35K on my '83 GS750ES and have never bought a kit for it. I've removed the carbs at least twice cleaned and reassembled them with the original diaphrams, gaskets and o-rings if there were any in there. One or more float bowl gaskets was torn or stuck but since the gas level is below the gasket it doesn't really cause a problem. The real issue with these carbs is not the wear on the parts but the little bits of dirt and build-up on the parts. I found that its best to get something to soak them in, rinse them with water, blow them with compressed air and then hit 'em with a little aerosol cleaner. GOOD LUCK!
 
I was just taking another look at them. All I really need is a new set of pilots. I screwed two of them up while removing them. I guess I'll just order a new set of the pilot jets from bikebandit. All they really need is a good cleaning after that...Thanks a lot guys!

Oh yeah, any recommendations or part #'s for a muffler to hook on to the supertrapp?
