Bike carbs

[crewdogch47]

Hello guys just looking into the R1 bike carb swap to my stock l16. I just not sure if its the right way to go. Also what is the best year carbs to buy?

Here ya go... a few threads down from yours.

Think R1 carbs are a bit large for an L16, unless you have the mods to turn that engine 10,000 rpm.

There are other (smaller) bike carbs that will work.

What mods, if any, have you done to your L16?

 

If mostly stock, and more for the 'WoW' factor, go with something smaller, it will run a lot better, and the stock rods won't jump out of the block.

Its a stock engine . But I have found a set of CBR 600F carbs from a 1987 model  would that work with a stock fuel pump?

Stock fuel pump probably puts out too much pressure.

Bike carbs are gravity fed, so only 1 psi, or less, so you may need a bypass pressure regulator.

I think the R-1 have an electric fuel pump and the 3.5 PSI L series is compatible.

I run just shy of 2 psi on my FCR Flatslide set up. Much more than that overwhelms the float needles.
