RS36 Mikuni Flat Slide Carbs in an '82 Katana 1000 Question

Hello again folks! I just acquired a set of Mikuni RS36 flat slides for my '82 Katana 1000 for $400.00 including extra jets and a push/pull cable. I have a new Jardine 4 into 1 aftermarket exhaust on the bike and I'm going to install new K&N pod filters once the carbs get here. I have a Dyna Ignition that's going in as well. That all being said I was wondering whether I will need to rejet or not with these carbs. Apparently they move much more air than the stockers and the guy I bought them from said to try them out and see how it runs before rejetting. Any input would be appreciated.

They usually work just fine with the stock jetting they come with. If he gives you the paperwork on the carbs it will tell you which mains to run. The accelerator pumps may need a little tweaking.
 
I have the RS36's on my 1157cc bandit. I am using 130 mains with the pump on at 1/4 and off at 3/4 throttle. Needle is at baseline -3. They absolutely rock on the bandit.

Good Luck, Ed.

Jardine Pipe

Jardine Pipe

Hi Hap,

I bought the Jardine exhaust brand new just a few months ago from Star Cycle in California through their website after I talked to them and checked out Jardine's website as well. I believe they were $356.95. Perhaps it was somewhat more, I'm not really sure. I liked the way the exhaust looked and the fact that I could replace the canister later on with say a Yoshimura if I so desired. I'll list their website below. I checked and couldn't find the pipes I bought listed there or on Jardine's website. If you are interested I would call them to see if they still stock them. If needed I can give you my name and info and perhaps they can look up the part number I ordered that way. Meanwhile, here are some pictures of the pipes. ~Gene

That's a great find....perhaps a left over NOS item they had on the shelf! May we have a rear view of the can, if its not too much trouble?


Tony.
