george 1100 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Cheap 38's is going to be way better than 36's Quote Link to comment
DAZ Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 If it's a 2002 (mk2) you'll probably have to swap to mk1 inlets too as the later ones (bsr carbs) have a different spacing to earlier gsxr/mk1 bandits (bst carbs) 2 Quote Link to comment

Or should I round up some newer from a mk1 ? Thx for feedback…. Quote Link to comment
DAZ Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 If I remember correctly the early slabside gsxr 1052 had 34mm carbs ( tin tops) so aren't suitable but the 89/90 slingshot 1127 had 36mm carbs (plastic tops) like the bandit 1200. I think the 750 shortstroke motor in the pre98 teapot/gsxf and 88/89 gsxr 750 slingshot also used 36mm bst carbs. The RS carbs in 36mm & 38mm both use a 42mm spigot which should fit the 36mm suzuki intakes ( not mk2bsr types ) 1 Quote Link to comment

XzoB12 Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 Well got everything sorted out on the RS38s . Got new set of MK1 intake rubbers. Lord what a difference! They are some noisy sonaguns with low idle . Not bad at all around 1250 or so . But Wow… 1 Quote Link to comment

Upshotknothole Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Yeah, that sticky needs to be updated for intake rubbers. The intakes that fit the RS carbs are the hardest ones to find now, J/K 750 intakes or teapot intakes. I've got multiple sets that are all rock hard that I need to see about sorting. 1 Quote Link to comment
