Are bigger carbs better?

Only problem with lagging is the pipes start behind the radiator and the wrap makes my hands itch like a bastard even with gloves on.

Use the titanium stuff, don't need to wet wrap it, doesn't itch at all, and no need to spray it afterwards.

I tred wet wrapping it and it works better dry. Didnt know there was a titanuim version.

There sure is http://www.designengineering.com/cat...-lr-technology and like most titanium things, it contains more awesome! But unlike most titanium things, its not hideously expensive.

I have been offered a full stainless Motad system out of a ZZR600 i think it is. He thinks it will fit but im not sure.

How much?
Measure up your GPZ port spacing and I'll measure my ZZR600 for you, but, I am pretty sure the ZZR600 has bigger ports than the GPZ.

As for the carbs, the ZZR400k motors used CVK-D32 carbs and the ZZR600 has 36s or something. I doubt the 32swould have any real power gains at all.

$450 and there brand new. hense my intrest. I will measure them over the weekend. I may leave wrapping untill Ive worked that out. I will need to pull the radiator to get in there.

I'm of the opinion that the engine designers usually know what they are doing.

You do realise the GPZ is made by Kawasaki right?

Yes they build motors to suit a market and emission standards.

But I dont care about emissions. I want powa.

You're wasteing $$ and time trying to get that motor to do anything more, either learn to ride it better, or get a more powerfull bike if you think you need it A well ridden 400 will keep up with a much bigger bike on the track.

Im not on the track. How do you know I cant find more?

The engine was designed for a certain role, meet certan standards and have a particular price point in its market. It would also be designed not to cannibalise other segments of the manufacturers market so it would be unlikely to have "extra power waiting to be easily unlocked" especially by backyard tuners.

As with just about any four stroke engine the cam, carb, compression route may gain some power at the top end, spinning the engine above the manufacturers design limits, but that comes at the expense of bottom / mid range (rideability) and engine life (the design criteria again.)

Just buy the 600. Or the ZX10

That sounds just like my Dad when I started stripping my 12a motor.

I learned him.......

Im not on the track. :

So why do you need to find more then?
