'89-'95 FZR1000 with Mikuni BDST38 Down-drafts
This was the second generation of the FZR1000 carburetor. This was one of the fastese and most expensive sport bike on the streets for it's time. One of my favorite bikes and I love servicing these carbs. They have some pitfalls that can be easily missed. If I work on yours, I treat them as if they are going on MY bike. Be sure to check out the ID (If you can read it) as people retrofit YZF750 carbs on them which never work well, especially if they ever got rebuilt as if they were FZR1000 carbs.
Note: Starting in '74 Yamaha started year coding bikes in the last letter used in the name. You may see this code on your bikes paperwork or in a parts list or catalog. I leave this off as it is redundant if you are showing the year anyway. There is a chart below to find your year code.
Below is a set of '89-'95 FZR1000 3LK Mikuni BDST38
carbs. These were the same tuning
'89-'95. It is very important the float height and float
seat assembly are set-up right or you can easily damage an engine
with hydraulic lock-up.
