had we persevered without regard for tire preservation, The Yamaha's slipperier shape and top-end power asserted them-selves with a terminal speed a good 5 km/h better than the Suzuki's.

IMHO, the water pumpers were a transition model to allow Suzuki to move to beam frames and water cooling without alienating a fiercely loyal public. I don't know if the slide on my CV was damaged by the PO or if it is just a single bad carb but it really sucks when you are out in the middle of nowhere and you have NO throttle at all. None of the overflow went on to the rear tire, and it only happened on the racetrack, which is why race bikes carry catch tanks.

Better venturi design and to a point a larger bore size equates to performance improvement where with Mikuni the progression ranges from the VM then TM and topped off with the TM pumper carbs on 4-stroke engines. Even though I'm not very good at headstands, I had no problems using it from the first time I put it together because it's incredibly solid and easy to install. Plus the p/n 10557 Uses nut part number 10238 with a 21mm spanner size , that is available, will not fit. In other words, richen the low speed and it will also richen the high speed just a bit, and visa versa. The engine’s forward lean has been reduced by 10 degrees, making it more compact and allowing a 20mm shorter wheelbase.

Performance features for the Mikuni TM Series Carburetors include a large selection of bore sizes for increased fuel mixture flow to match engine modifications. Given the broad family resemblance across Yamaha's FZR series, the compact 1000 could easily be mistaken for a much smaller machine. With a non-CV you can snap the throttle and fall flat as the engine is not pulling enough air and Vacuum yet to pull fuel at the rate you just asked for (with your wrist). A fella stopped me on a empty bridge to worn of a rattler in a turn, then we both brightened up seeing each's tires- so took off back the way he came on 'Race Track Rd' He was on Suzuki 1200 Bandit or such and said he'd pull 100 in the opens and 60-70 in the 30-40 marked turns.

Inside the carb there is a fuel slide with the jet needle and a venturi plate in front of the slide. The slide is not connected to anything and its movement are governed only by how far the venturi plate is opened which is connected to the throttle. You won't get any more power or torque from a pumper carb, but you will get a wider and more useable spread of both.
