Alternative Carbs for 1100

Post by tomtom » Fri Jul 27, 2012 11:16 am

I'm running an 1100 Kat with Wiseco 1168 big bore and 36mm mikuni flatslides and filters. It runs pretty lumpy at slow speeds and around town and I've been told to expect that. I'm looking for suggestions for alternative carbs e.g 1200 bandit or other gsxr models either 36mm or 38mm maybe,for smoother everyday riding. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

Have you balanced the carbs?

Has it got high lift cams fitted , as these will effect the idle.

For smooth running you better use cv carbs rather than flatties. I for one used 36er Bandit 1200 or Gixxer carbs with VERY good results.
