Hey Maxed141:
I've been running my '86 FZX700 for a few months now, and I FINALLY got the carbs set up. It was a bee-otch, believe me, but it's finally settled and it kicks butt.
Alright, here's the deal:
I'm in Peoria, AZ, so we are at a very low elevation. I'm using a 4-1 Kerker exhaust system and 4 individual K&N air filters (one for each of the 4 carbs.)
- Mixture screws are 3 turns out
- #25 pilot jets
- #132.5 main jet
- OEM needles are at first clip (that is, they are as lean as possible, believe it or not)
Just make sure you have synced your carbs! And run only regular unleaded (not the mid- or super-unleaded).
This setup, for me, kicks butt. I also am running a 17 tooth front sprocket, and went all the way down to a 40 tooth rear sprocket. Top speed is MUCH better (she runs up to 125 mph), and the 6 gears are actually much more practical.
That's it. Good luck!
