32 mm flatslide jetting was created by RomSpaceKnight
I have a set of 85 GSXR 29mm flatslide carbs. I intend to bore them out to 32mm (can be done checked with a mid-80's Suzuki road racer/mechanic/tuner). They are going on a 77 KZ, 1075cc, 12.5:1 cr, 425 lift cam, stock valves, mildly ported head, velocity stacks and Hindle Sidewinder dragpipe. A set of 36mm are not in the budget this or next year. Any ideas on where to start with main jet sizes?

Bike is for drag racing. Has a 750 triple swingarm (3" over KZ stock),KZ400 front end,raked frame,3.5"x18" aluminium spoked rear wheel,air shifter,2-step,Pingle wheelie bars,welded crank,undercut tranny and custom aluminium bodywork. Might/hopefully/should get high 9's out of it. Ran 11.04 with 29mm smoothbores,stock pistons,stock frame/body,wheelie bars,Hindle pipe and no air shifter or 2-step.

Thanks

Hey Rom -- I had these carbs once on my Z1, sold them awhile back for the RS34s. I think these are gonna be great for a strip bike, excellent performance on top, but hard to get 'em good for lower revs. Were abrupt on/off throttle for around town.

I'll have to check my notes, but one thing I do clearly recall was I had to open the pilot screw way out. Stock is like 1.25 or 1.5 turns out if memory serves -- I had to crank them to something like 3 or 3.5 turns out to get a reasonable idle. I think I might have left them with the stock jets. Let me check...

A resource for you: a GSXR enthusiast scanned the factory manual pages for the carbs, put 'em out there right here: www.ablett.jp/bikes/gsxr/carb.htm

Parts are hard to find -- baby those gaskets, as they're expensive to replace.

I was thinking better around town. My builder says that 36mm flatslides would be the cat's meow for my motor. As 29mm on a stock motor for street they would be killer. Maybe a bit finicky compared to 29mm smoothbores. It's the boring out that will cause me more issues from a main jet point of view. What would a main jet be for a 32mm Mikuni flatslide. Never been one to worry much about pilot and air jets. Only interested in how they work at wide open throttle. Considering I launch at at least 5500rpm, I think I am on the main jet anyways. If it was a street or road racer might have more concern about it. Ran 29mm smothbores before went up 2 sizes on mian jet and didn't even bother with any thing else. Ran 11.04@122mph with Hindle Sidewinder, velocity stacks, slick and wheelie bar. All else stock.
