carb sizing

Picked up a nice set of Mikuni slide valves for my Yammy Radian rebuild/resto.Supposedly came off a Yammy FZR 600.Problem is, I dont know what size they are and the carbs dont have the size on them. I do know that Yamaha put Mik 30mm and 32mm on these bikes. Miked at the engine side throat,the carbs are 28mm i.d. and 32mm o.d., so assume these are 32mm Miks.Am I correct or should I measure somewhere else.Also got the Fazer cams so I think I will put a little more pop in the bike while I got it down.Thnx in advance.bj

Am thinking the 28mm i.d. would equate to 28mm carb.
And don't know why it would be described as 30mm carb.

Good Fortune! :)

OK thanks,Patton.Will put them on and see what happens. I assume that if it is too much carb for the bike I will be able to notice it immediately.Thanks again.bj
