Mikuni RS interchangeability with CB750
« on: January 09, 2016, 09:40:08 am »
Do any of the regular factory part numbers available for the Mikuni RS34 (GSXR 750 for example) swap over to the CB750K?

I don't think anyone but CycleEx sells RS carbs racked directly for an SOHC. The closest spacing i've found is an RS to fit either a GPZ900 or an FJ1100. Thats what i use on my dragbike.

Is it just adjusting the spacing? Enough "slack" in the stock setup?

Same single carbs... Different spacing... Logic of mass production ;)

Gsxr spacing is not the same as the Honda spacing. My guess is due to the 34mm size that matches the needs of those smaller engines, that why the part number you listed was used versus the matched spacing. When I bought my carbs years ago, my research showed the fj1100 spacing was closest of any offered by in the rs line. Back then, they did offer them in 34mm but none were available when I got mine so I ended up purchasing the 36's. I had to offset grind the stock boots to make them work. Never looked back.

I have reracked a set of 34's for the 750. All the carbs have to be as close to centerline as possible. It takes some time but is not difficult.

Hey guys, I hope reviving this post is alright but I've been researching and trying to find a new set of carbs for my 75 cb750 for a month or two now. Basically I narrowed my search down to Mikuni RS or Mikuni TMS. I've had a tough time finding something that I think will work. I only use my bike for casual riding and not for racing. I've ruled out the CRspecial carbs, stock CV carbs, awesome Yoshi TMR carbs and the Keihin FCR carbs just because I can't find them for my bike.

So... question is: are the RS the best for our CB750's? Is there a better alternative? The old CV's are pretty worn out and I'm looking for a pumper style carb to give me some more performance.

Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'm a new member and I would have just posted a new topic but I couldn't figure out how. Can new members post topics?

the biggest down side of RS carbs is the "noise" when idling. The more overlap cam has the bigger the back pressure... and the flat slides are oscillating and making "noise". And flat slides in RS carb have a lot of space to oscillate...

By "noise" I mean like something is falling apart in the engine or like I am banging the engine with a hammer.

When I first started the engine I was thinking that something is ruined inside....

- What is done with engine?
My bike worked fine with stock CB750 K6 carbs, 836cc, ported head, cam.
If stock, install 836cc, ported head and cam before "better" carbs. Drain your wallet in correct order ;)

The Mikuni TMR 32 are much better, but engine can use them with more mods.

I could not get the links to work.

I have bought main jets from UK for not that much. I have some in steps of 2.5 to my VM29. Work with TMR too.

The last pilots from Germany also by chance since they might not be exactly equal to Mikuni. But they work fine.

Is it the chattering sound at idle? Flatslide throttles sounds like spanish castanets  ;D I was a little bit concerned fiirst but understood that the flatslides produced the sound and got the answer by googling flatslide + chatter

Nice whistling sound when twisting the throttle, almost like a turbo spool-up.
The idle sounds good when ignition and carbs are in sync.

I have a rack of RS40 which I have for my gpz1100 engine but the spacing was just adjusted on the rails by the prev. owner.

Shouldnt be to hard with these carbs... :)

I think RS34 is perfect for the CB! Especially with the F2 heads... (34mm valves)
