just like the title says

i was thinkin about pickin up a extra set of carbs,,and rebuilding them over the winter,

and then swapping them out onto my 1989 FZR

i just wanted to double check to see if all the carbs are the same on all years,,or were there any slight changes?

my bikes a 1989,,so i know they already have a hand full of differences on it

just didnt wanna waste money buying the wrong year stuff,

thanks

The only differences I know of is the EXUP (Cali) model. I would get photos of the one you want before you buy. We can verify it for you.

Here is a pic of the EXUP carbs - see the hoses that come out the bottom the carbs on the right? They attach to the vapor canister. I removed them and filled the holes with JB Weld. There are some differences in the jet sizes as well.

ok,,i was just wanting to pick up a nice set on ebay,,and go from there,,id still love to keep my bike runnin in case of a good day of weather here and there

ill find some pics,,of some auctions im watchin

what do the 2 hoses do that go to nothing do,,i guess all the carbs have them?
i just wondered

thanks

They are overflow hoses.

Ive got a set of parts carbs in my parts bin and they are different that whats on my bike. I am assuming they are from a 90, since my bike was a 90, but had the engine and carbs swapped out, but the parts came with the bike. The spot where the cables atach to the throttle were slightly different, and a few other minor differences, but the jetting was the same, just different hardware.

This is a VERY good point and I was going to bring it up a earlier tonight but got sidetracked. I think there was a change over around '92 or so. I bought a set of carbs for my '92 because I needed to replace the throttle bell crank. I bought a set from a fellow board member who, if my memory serves correctly, said they were ALSO from a '92 but the bell crank was in fact different (as Freeze mentioned). The difference is that one of the two cables (don't remember which) is actually screw-tightened on on one set but on the other the cable just slips into a cable receiver (for lack of a better word) and is not tightened in any way. If you check the fiches for the cable part numbers you'll see that there is a different push or pull cable at some point. I'd look it up and post links but I'm too damn tired so I'm going to bed! LOL!

ok,,ill look at mine,,i already have a 90 and up swing on on my 89,,so maybe i have some diff carbs?

i dont wanna waste money on anything buying the wrong stuff,lol

thanks
