XS1100 0 Posted October 17, 2011 As you may know I fitted Kawasaki 1200ZRX Carbs to my XS1100 a vast improvement in alround performance,however on rejetting the carbs.Beware of plug chops with modern unleaded and ethanol containing fuels. The colour results are not accurate and can mislead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madsod 0 Posted October 18, 2011 do the carbs go on with out mods and what size jets did you put in , sound like a good job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XS1100 0 Posted October 18, 2011 The carbs are spaced just about right with a sqeeze.I used the standerd air box again with a few slight mods you can use the air box I just replaced the OE filter with a K&N the whole idea was to make the engine breath a little better hence modern carbs,air filter and a more free flow exhaust which I made from variouse odds n sods and fitted the the Jardine slip on can which was a tad lound so I fitted a jardine decibel restricter which I think also improved performance.and the the throttol cable from a GSR750 fitted the Kwak carbs and the Yam throttol so that was cool.As for jetting that was fun!I have in at the moment38 PILOTS AND 140 MAIN JETS.I have it about right now and have ridern to Aberystwth vie Builth wells, Abergysn , Tragaron and back to Leicester 390 mile round trip with out hitch.And it was Bloody great!
