Jetting suggestions?
03 Nov 2010 19:17
Hey all, a thoughtful member of this site just sold me a pair of KZ1000 carbs for my 1984 ZN1100. They fit like a glove, but obviously I need to rejet. The bike has pod filters, and what seems like a stock exhaust. Any suggestions on what size to rejet? And does anyone have a good hookup for cheap parts?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

Way too many variables...
Your engine build, elevations, temperatures, condition of your head intakes, baffle size, condition of these carbs etc....
Are these stock 26/28mm Mikunis or something else...
What jets are already in these carbs...
After running awhile, what are the conditions of your plugs....
Probably best guess for now is install them and see where she's presently at regarding performances @ idle, mid and upper rpm ranges...
She stutter, hesitate, lurch, fall flat on it's face etc...
Follow the links, whole slew of good info on carb jetting and operations....
