    Gsx1100ez pods...

    Hi all,

    Just chasing some advice on the type of pods and jetting required for the stock Mikuni BS34 carbs.

    I'm looking at swapping the stock box with 54mm APE or K&N pod filters. Has anyone had any experience with the change over from the stock air intake?

    Thanks in advance.

    Dynojet kit is the easiest way to jet them.

      I had my 1100EZ jetted on a dynamometer; the guy used the DJ stage 3 kit. Big gains over 5,000 rpm, no loss under that.

      I don't know what the difference is, but my American model (no "X") lists the carbs as 34 mm Mikuni CV.

      Good luck getting both parts of the air box off intact. Keep a Dremel handy.

        BS34 ARE 34mm CV, all Suzuki Mikuni CV carbs are prefixed BS

        Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

          If you look at my Black Magick project thread I did a side by side comparison of K&N pod vs APE. Very little difference in the two besides a 250% price difference. It's strictly cosmetic and quality comparo as I haven't been able to install them yet but the APE's are pretty much identical and far more budget friendly. I hope to get the stage 3 installed this weekend then I will try to do a couple 20 mile rides with each set to give a performance feedback.
