Carb verification

These are on the spares z650, Keihin. From what I've read these are off a CSR, which would be correct but just need clarification. I couldn't find the numbers with a google.

Also, what's the thoughts regarding these and the VMs on my F1? I suppose it depends on the condition but which are the best if both are in good nick, performance etc. wise.

Guess it depends on the size of the keihins. There's a few guys on the z650 proboards forum that swear they are an upgrade and give a smoother power delivery but there are some downsides which involve altering the air box I think.
Tbh, never had issues with Mikunis and not a mod I would do.

Yeah, read that Warren, maybe ZR750? Saw the mod enlarging the airbox holes and offsetting the outer ones. Just one up in the air atm while I sort what I want to keep.

I've posted on the Z650 site and no one is sure. I was advised to post on the KZR forum but still waiting on member status confirmation. In the meantime I have some more info and pics.
They are Kiehin CV 34mm. The carb to airbox rubbers OD is 55mm and they have a manaul choke lever on the side as opposed to the cable set set up. It looks like they have been sprayed black, or at least the outsides of 1 and 4 have as well as 3 of the tops. They were actually fitted to the bike but I haven't looked to see if the intake rubbers have been adjusted.

Anyone like to take a punt?
Cheers

Peter, see my responses on 650 forum re KZR.
It's sorted for you if you want.

[moizeau]

Yep, seen them, all sorted now, they are from a '82/83 z750. Also just had my confirmation email from KZR.
Cheers
