Inlet rubbers / trumpets?

Post by zxr400l3 »

Just removed my inlet rubbers and sow them very restrictive ... can i put some wider rubbers? if yes, from what, also, the carbs trumpets ... i sow there are options, but i dont know from what carbs or from what model i can fit ... i have l3 carbs with jetkit st1 fitted, but i think for ramair, i sow with one ramair system they sell bell mounts or something like that ... blue ones i think they was AMS ... pls if someone is more familiar with carbs and tuning, reccomend me something before i throw my money ...

Ok your post ends with the following

" reccomend me something before i throw my money "

IF it's a road bike you have then my answer is...............

I reccomend that you dont throw your money away


And IF it's a race bike then my answer is

I reccomend that you do NOT fit "wider" carb rubbers.............your carbs wont fit

so, everybody use the stock rubbers? and there is no chance to find wider rubbers that will fit the original carbs ... i bean wider not at the carbs side, but the head side ... there they are really small ... its not road bike, its running total loss, planning ramair, but here in Bilgaria there is nobody dealing with 400cc bikes, and i cant get any normal advice, everybody say "Get 600cc" ... but i like the zxr400 and i want to make it better ... i have spend alot money on my bike in the years, and i am ready to spend alot more, i just dont know what to buy ... and from where ... i have beet exhaust, CVK carbs with jetkit stage 1, showa rear shock from some suzuki ... and many other small things that i bought the last 2-3 years ... but i still dont like the power of the bike ... i will buy ram air ... but i find few different brands ... not sure wich is better

There used to be "kit" inlet rubbers and there were also a set from a 750 you could fit but both are finished.

If you keep to CVK make sure you have the 32mm ones. If you get FCR there are two different sizes two for the inlet rubbers - one size for SP and one size for L model.

Ram Air - Kit box is best , I might still have one left - these are for race bike as you can not use fan on radiator unless you get inventive.

Good luck with your build,

No Idea. the part number came back as finished and didn't say what model they were from.

I lost the part numbers a long time ago as of no use.
