ZRX or RX CARBS

[welshphill]

as above gang, i'm after a set of carbs for my gpz1000rx

i been told that ZRX carbs are a direct replacements as well

the carbs doesn't have to be top flight as i can make one good set up with the carbs i've already got

must be prepared to post (if ur not close to south wales) wrap for a courier or meet me half way type thing

thanks in advance of any offers or info/advice

The ZRX head has carbs that are level...the RX I believe are slightly downdraft. While ZRX carbs will work they won't be at their ideal angle.

I'n guessing your best bet would be to get ZZR1100 carbs...there absolutley stacks of them around.

thanks, but the rx carbs are level too. i found the info about swapping them for zxr carbs on another site. a guy did it to his rx

how sure are u about zzr carbs??

i'll go see what info i can find

After what you just said...not sure at all.

I'd assumed the RX had semi downdraft carbs like the zzr.



Just looked... RX does have level intakes, so the ZZr carbs would be wrong.

[welshphill]

yes, so it would seem from the info i got too...

but thanks for trying, i really appreciate it

i'm looking at zephyr 11 carbs now n quite tempted to whip the carbs off my zed thou J1 too

[garyd]

pretty sure they won't fit. The cam chain on the RX is in the side. Both the J and Zephyr have a central tunnel, so the spacing between 2&3 will be wrong.

Try to spot all the derivatives of that style of engine.

Maybe the GTR1000 ( Suspect they are smaller)
ZL1000 same as above.
What about the GPZ900?

But thinking about it, the ZRX seem to be the logical answer If you can't get another set of RX ones.
