Re: What PWK28 to use????
What about the Chinee knock-offs?

I'm assuming I'll get the usual answer..... ie: junk is junk.......
But I'll ask anyway, since its mighty tempting..... a working (hopefully) set of carbs for 50 bux shipped...
IF its just a case of cheap labor coupled with crummy finish and no expensive western marketing/packaging, I could live with it... even if to have "immo" stuff on my bike...
(and upgrade later to the real thing, once all the details are worked out and got it running good).
Of course, that assumes that they DO run good.... that its JUST the details that are crap, and they're made decent....
Also that they take real Keihin jets...and that tolerances 'n such are OK, so things like jets work properly...

Re: What PWK28 to use????
Asking for some support I just rebuilt my 83 rz bore is 65.5 ported stock head vforce 4 spec 11 I think I am going to get pwk 28 thinking the y boot and not sure about the clutch. Does this set up sound good?
Re: What PWK28 to use????
I have a similar set up as you described and I am real happy with how my bike performs. I am using the Y boot, you will have a hard time getting it to fit the PWKs because the intake side is larger than the stock carbs but you can get it to fit.

Re: What PWK28 to use????
Thanks what size are your jets and where do you live
Re: What PWK28 to use????
What is a good clutch to use that is not to stiff
Re: What PWK28 to use????
FZR1000 (OEM Yamaha plates) are a good upgrade, you have to toss the rubber damper rings that are with each plate in the stock clutch. You can use this with stock springs and it will work fine and feel stock on a tuned engine.emartinez wrote:What is a good clutch to use that is not to stiff
Re: What PWK28 to use????
I had some similar carbs like this from the local Kawasaki dealer and mine were for a KX 85 moto crosser

Do you think it's safe to start off with 135 mains and 45 pilots, I do have 132,138 m, 42 pilot
Re: What PWK28 to use????
You ask a jetting question, but where do you live? What elevation? What's your set-up?emartinez wrote:Do you think it's safe to start off with 135 mains and 45 pilots, I do have 132,138 m, 42 pilot
