mikuni flat slide 34mm

whats the story with these carbs? was thinking about buying a set.

They are probably not the best place to put your money on a nearly stock engine. You will want to consider cleaning up the stock carbs and running them until you learn how to ride

I have had them on my bike since I got it. No doubt in about a day or two you will have about a million people telling you that they are too big, you should get some super expensive 29mm or 33mm round slides or even CV carbs (BARF!). Don't waste your money or time. Get the RS34 carbs. They are cheaper than most other performance carb options (beside barf-tacular CV carbs) and I have had NO problems with midrange or low end or tuning or anything like everyone always predicts.

They have accelerator pumps that are very adjustable - both onset and duration of squirt. Totally eliminates any response problems. The whole idea behind the accelerator pump is to use a bigger carb to get more top end without losing any of the crispness and response of a smaller carb.

Get them and put them on. You won't be disappointed. They worked great on my 1075 when it had a stock head and an Andrews 2x intake cam. They worked even better with bigger cams, and a ported head. Amazingly, they are very forgiving when it comes to jetting. I have changed the exhaust and baffling, changed air filters, compression, head porting, cams, basically everything. Jetting changes - zero.

I'm tired of everybody badmouthing these carbs saying they are drag race only, no passing power, and so on. And they sound cool as they clack away at idle (if you go for that sort of thing).

Just sayin'

What's your setup anyways? They can be a bit much for a bone stock engine (they will still work fine).

thanks dave. right now my head is stock. i am sending it out for a port and polish to 32mm. ganna buy the 34mm minunis and maybr run a k410 cam set. probably need ape valve springs too. 1015 will be getting a 1075 bore with new piston kit. good to hear you like em so much...Joe

The head's going to Larry, right? I'd ask him what he would put on the head he's doing for you.

the head will be modified specifically for the carbs.

It sounded like it, I'm just saying the guy doing your head will probably be able to help you pick out carbs better than many of the rest of us since he'll be shaping and carving for a specific tune.
