Title: Spare Carbs?
Post by: Jimbob on October 28, 2013, 05:06:04 PM
Hey guys im currently learning stuff on my bike it has almost 50k km on its now so i imagine ill be cleaning the carbs at some point. Ive never done this before so im wondering if anyone has some spare carbs so i can practice before working on mine? Obviously wanting to buy them if you have them my bike is a 04 so hoping to get the same carbs. Cheers

That's gonna be a fairly expensive purchase.......

I do have some older style carbs laying around just for parts. If you just want to learn how to take them apart, I can send them to you - if you pay shipping both ways.

Keep an eye out, and put up a WTB in the classifieds no one browses. :whisper:

I found a set of 3 circuit carbs on this site for $100 shipped and they were freakin spotless.  That's as cheap as it gets, methinks.
