Hey peeps. I'm doing everything I can to keep my ageing 1100WP going.
I'm after some carbs now as many other things have now been changed.
Mine are 40mm mikuni.
What alternative carbs can I put on without making adjustments or re-doing the bike?

I'm very lost here, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

With enough time, money and effort you can put anything on. However unless you want the hassle of rejetting (quite possibly difficult on carbs from a totally different bike), fitting single filters (unlikely the airbox will fit), etc, it would be cheaper to either sort out your existing carbs or just buy another set the same.

What problem is the bike having? Have you checked for worn / damaged carb parts . Ie punctured diaphragms, worn nozzles (common problem on bikes fitted with dynojet kits), etc.

All the best

Keith

Thanks Keith.

I thought that would probably be the answer. I think I'll get an assessment done.

Check my other posts in the help section m8. That'll explain all my problems.

Had a look at it appears that you have running problems but are just hoping it is the carbs.

It is possible, but so are loads of other things. Including a dodgy fuel tap (problem I have had with my GSXR11).

All the best
