Cool bike though, I REEEEEEEALLY want a twosmoke
Don't bother replacing the gaskets and seals in these thirty some yr old carbs, so when you take them apart and reassemble with the old crushed gaskets and dried out seals they leak like a siv getting gas on the nice hot engine, you, and create a fire hazard. Not to mention suck air in every seal above the fuel bowls.teazer said:Carb rebuild kits are a waste of cash IMHO. Just buy any parts you need from your dealer or any jetting on-line store and get genuine Mikuni parts that are the right sizes.
