Good explanation. I am aware that these carbs are mean’t to sync’d off the bike but up until now I have used vac gauges with pretty good results. Looking at your vid though I will do a comparison and see which is better. I have some Flat slides on a Laverda Jota. I also wasn’t aware of the JIS screws so will get some. Thanks for doing the vid. Cheers John in Australia.
Hi John, I'm in Australia too. Replace all JIS screws with SS Allen key, your life will be 10000% easier, and they look better And also only cost $10 for all the pieces. Cheers Ryan
This is a great video , I have RS34’s on my cb750 DOHC, the Mikuni owner manual thst came with my carbs says when syncing the carbs to use a manometer or similar device to sync the carbs, other than that this video is very good, I already knew about the JIS screwdrivers from a different video, and I really appreciate these guys mentioning the JIS screwdrivers that’s important
Awesome video! Taught me what I needed to know about adjusting my carbs As an aside, are these stock slides prone to chattering & breaking off into the engine like the TM38's? Are there aftermarket black slides you can install that won't shatter?
Wow! I need to call sudco . Seems easier after watching your video. Went out and #4 on 1983 gs1100e with rs mikuni had screw out( fell off?). Wondered how to get it back correctly. Found your video and bang! Got it running good again. Thanks, Bob
Did you ever get these tuned up and working properly? I'm currently trying to tune a set for my bike and was wondering if you have any further insight.
Really good information for me. I just bought a bandit 1200. A set of 5020 carbs came with it the previous owner never installed. They almost seem like overkill...but I have no idea. Would you swap these with the original ones that are one the bike now? From what I can tell all it has are K&N and a Yoshi RS3 muffler
Thank you for saving me $450+. I finally got my dads 1100 back. Just put the carbs on and after I seen this video, its game over now. Thanks alot.
Awesome video my friend keep them coming looking forward to the next one
I always use an egg carton when disassembling, then you have a little pod for each stage and a tray for larger components
Great video. I just got some RS38s for my 2001 ZRX1200R. This video is gonna help a lot. Thanks.
You need to post a video and let everyone know that you are doing ok my brother stay safe be blessed

Hello friend, could you make a video on how to widen the gap and shorten between each carburetor?
I ride a 2003 Kawasaki ZRX1200R. I’ve put 50,000 miles so far. Runs good but it’s getting a leaky valve cover gasket.
