Title: Carb Changes?
Post by: bigtoys2004 on August 08, 2006, 07:46:55 PM
hey all.  i am looking to put on a new jardine exhaust system and rejet my '06 gs500f.  exoticsportbike.com has a jet kit for 04-05 and i was wondering if there was a difference in the carbs from 04, 05, and 06.  any info would be appreciated.  thanks.

I think the only thing they've changed since 04 is the color.

The '04+ carbs are slightly different than the '01-'02 carbs.

Yeah, I've gathered that, hence the "since 04"
