- A light restoration of a 1985 Suzuki GSX-R 750 F, it's been sat in the garage for 10 years and needs to be back out on the road and track, the first ever sportsbike that is now a classic.
This week Ian rebuilds the carbs but will it go to plan?.

Very nice and precise video It helps a lot when you have to rebuild same carb for the first time continue posting video many thanks from France
Sods law that mate. Good to see ya back Ian
Cheers RJ, can't wait to hear it start.
This mikunis is a special series made for gsxr750 1985-1987 Euro models an maybe some other countries, they are 34mm bore with 29mm venturi funnel 😊
another nice vid man! very realistic with the wrong part as well! something is always missing but you never see that on youtube!
Thanks again for the kind words, just my luck with the parts. I kept the parts problem in as I just want to show people what it's like working on your own bike.
Thank you for this, I need the rebuild kit for my GSXR 750 87.
Where are you in the world?
Classic motorbikes Spain.
Awesome video as always fella. Have ordered the braided lines for my Bandit from CP Racetec, will let you know how I get on.
Thanks Bandit 81, what colour lines did you go for?
Classic motorbikes, went with silver/transparent but it was close between that and blue.
Good stuff.
Thanks T Will, Can't wait to start it up
Was wondering about the plunger assembly in two of the carbs. Possibly the secondary fuel circuit?
What exactly does it do?
I noticed in mine the springs are not the same ( possible previous owners DIY) and the bike hangs at high revs if I blip the throttle.
Only one plunger seems to raise and fall, the other seems jammed, would this effect the carbs ability to return to idle quickly?
Hi Shane, I'm no expert on the flatslide carbs, sometimes they are called a pumper carb as when you blip the throttle it squirts a little bit of fuel into the engine, some people do disconnect them, but I normally only deal with CV carbs. Sorry I can't be of more help
Great video, 2 question please, do you have any idea how to remove the carburetor air box from a 1986 Gsxr 1100
Also can I install Mikuni 36 on a stock engine?
Thank you
Great channel...But it's Flat Slide ! Aggghhh lol.
Thanks for the spell I hadn't spotted that, will change it now 👍
Very helpful videos. Thanks for keeping it real! Can anyone help me with figuring what a bike like this is worth? I have a 1992 gsxr 750 and once it is back into tip top shape I'm curious what it would go for now. I look on ebay and I see one going for almost 10 grand. KBB tells me its worth 2,300. (I'm in the U.S.) It has 18k miles on it. Everything is stock sans paint job.
Hello Klay, glad you are enjoying the videos, not sure I could help with the value but there are some great Facebook groups that might be able to help, have a search for slingshot GSX-R and you should find them.
Please share where did you order the carb kit? Thanks a lot.
How many turns out for the pilot jet he didn't say?
Can anyone tell me what years this type of flat slide carb was fitted to the gsxr and models.
IIRC they were Mikuni RS 29mm...?
It was a while ago I had this bike...
This is a special series of mikuni made for Europe gsxr 750 85-87 they are 34mm bore with 29mm venturi back funnel 😊
Hello. Some close up shots of the step by step would help. I need to do this to my 1990 GSXR sling shot. I need to find a carb kits the correct ones . Where should I look besides e bay. What book are you reading the factory info from. Is there ISBN number ? Is it a factory manual? Ty
They don’t sell a put together all in one kit for the flat slide carbs but every piece is still available piece by piece.
Exelent
ebay parts for carbs? Seems sketchy. I have heard it is best to get OEM parts rather than copies. Like for Mikuni carbs off Suzukis, get parts from Suzuki.
Much respect though, as disassembly down to the individual carbs makes me nervous. Like I will forget the assembly order, or forget how it goes back together. Can you add a closeup of the old emulsion tube? Next to the new?
The carb repair kit comes from Japan so I'm happy with the quality, but your are right OEM is normally the way forward. I would take a photo of the old and new stuff but I don't have them anymore, I'll make sure to do it in the future 👍 I'd be lying if I said it doesn't make me nervous as well, it's all the small springs and linkages, but I'm lucky I can watch the video back if I get stuck anywhere.
Can i repleace the carborators of suzuki gsx 750 f katana with gsxr 750 ?
I believe it would be possible but I would alway try to keep the factory carbs on a bike
Yes, and different year carbs will still work. Stick with stock CV style cards not the flat slides shown in this video. MUCH easier to work on and they where factory
Hi! Where can I buy the Carb Rebuild kit?
I got these through eBay from Japan

@@donovanpaterson3732 I’ve just had a look and the link doesn’t work any more as it’s over a year old, sorry I can’t help Donovan I hope you find a good rebuild kit.
