Anyway, back to the question, are the VM24 carbs basically the same ?
Were the carburetors rejetted or tuned for the 700 kit? I'd guess you'd need larger main jets, maybe #17 pilot jets & maybe shim the jet needles to raise them.
I haven't checked in a while, but I've never seen carburetor kits for the 81 KZ650-CSR. I just disassembled & cleaned everything, then installed new gaskets & o-rings. There are 2 or 3 different float bowl gaskets, so verify which ones you have before ordering. A metric nitrile o-ring kit from HarborFreight had most of the needed sizes except for the starter plunger o-rings which I got from the dealer, but Z1Enterprises.com may have them.
Thanks Martin. The guy we bought the bike off didn't know a great deal about what was done, it had pods on it which we are removing and putting on an airbox, so I imagine what ever jetting was used will no longer be relevant . The guy that's doing the carbs up for us is extremely competent so we should be able to get it all sorted. I just couldn't find anything specifically for the 81 model, we've ordered a carb kit so i'll update what we find.... Its not a CSR, its a KZ 650F..
