SP carb question

[royster81]

I think I'm right in saying the SP gsxrs came with different carbs to the normal gsxrs ?

If so whats the difference?
Can I put normal carbs on the SP bike ?

SP carbs have a TPS sensor and pressurized floats. Has more tubes.

Solid advice mate cheers, do they have an id number stamped on them too, I heard someone say there were different sizes of carb ie 32 mm and 34mm, which are SP and which are normal or are they the same.

The SP carbs are bigger (35 or 36mm can't remember) so the manifold and/or airbox might need changing.

They also have a TPS, so using non SP carbs would probably require you to switch to the non-SP CDI.
To be honest, i'd look at swapping to a less problematic carb system altogether if you're looking for a change.

You can use the standard non TPS carbs on the SP cdi, had mine running for 200 miles. ill be getting some SP carbs when i can afford them, guy on e-bay is selling one for £200, sonic cleaned and re ringed.

They are 35mm, why you thinking of swopping them?

[royster81]

When the owner got the bike he was given a set of spare carbs with it and was told they needed swapped for the ones in the bike as they had a crack in them which was currently covered in chemical metal.

I don't know much about gsxr's but I did know the SP had different carbs so to save some head scratching I thought I'd make sure we had two sets of SP carbs.

Thanks for the help so far lads.

If the carbs are all sp ask if i can buy the old set for spares.

Are there any other diffrences internally with the SP carbs? Im sure i have a set on mine and i need to know if there are any diffrences when replacing the orings etc.
