Re: flatside
to some yes, best bet is a picture, will tell you in seconds if they are or not
or do they look like this, with a black plastic round bit facing towards the front of the bike, if so, probably not flatslides

and its "flatslides", not "flatsides".
sorry, thought you said zxR400...dont know about zx400, still a pic would tell a lot...

Re: flatside
i might be wrong here, but i thought an easy way to test for flatslides was to fire the bike up and crank the throttle right round, if you have flatslides the bike will stall as you have flooded the engine, if its normal vacuum carbs the bike will rev fine...but again i dont have any flatslides, its just something that i have read i think...?

Re: flatslide
Can anyone recommend someone who can work on flatslide carbs?
Ive used a couple of people in the past. Including Rhen Cullen but I wasn't happy with the final result. It seems to be a black art when it comes to flatslides.
