    GSXR flat slides

    Would like to take the tops off the GSXR carbs for painting. When I pull these apart is it going to be like a jack in the box, parts every where? Sometimes the diaphrams swell up and can be a pia to reinstall. Thoughts?

    Easy peasy, no flying parts or drama. The diaphragms generally harden, shrink and be difficult to refit. Soaking them in kerosene for a bit can soften them and make them easier to fit.

      If the diaphragms are that bad, replace them otherwise there are no issues reasreassembling

        Are these carbs similar to the Bandit 1200 carbs where the top has the little o-ring that falls off and cant be found again? That is the one thing I watch for and I only bring it up because the Bandit uses a GSXR based motor.

            Thanks gentlemen! Diaphragms should be good, Member had gone through these recently. Off they come.
