FZR 400 carbs

[karlj]

I have a set of fzr 400 carbs laying around and I'm thinking of fitting the to little red, my question before I go through the hassle of getting an inlet manifold made up for them is, is there any gains to be had from them on a MA10?

measure the venturi,s karl, and see if they add up to more than the stock carb :grinning:

How do I do that? I don't know much about carbs

After getting myself confused, I decided to look on some fzr forums and by the looks of it the 400 carbs are almost exactly the same as the 600 carbs of the same age....

So I say sod it I've got them so why not give it a bash and if there isn't much or any difference in performance at least it'll sound good..... all noise and no go :laugh:
