Mikuni Radial Flat Slide Carburetors

Product Description

Part# 001

The Mikuni RS Series Carburetors were designed and built in response to the needs of the world's top motorcycle road race and drag race teams. They required carburetors which could satisfy the precise fuel metering demands and high flow volume required by highly modified race engines. And yet, also provide the smooth controllable throttle response that is needed by any rider pushing his motorcycle to its limits on the race track and under any high performance applications. The carburetors need to meter fuel correctly under a wide range of atmospheric conditions and engine tuning modifications which being easily accessible for trackside tuning changes which need to be made quickly.

Designed for in-line four cylinder performance motorcycle applications, the Mikuni RS Series Radial Flat Slide Carburetors offer superior horsepower gains with their maximum flowing smoothbore induction tract and radial flat slide design. An adjustable accelerator pump system helps to provide instant throttle response, particularly in the lower RPM range. The RS Series Carburetors feature a compact design which is 25% lighter than other performance carburetors and uses readily available Mikuni jets.
