Does anyone know where I can get carbies for a ZX2R? The previous owner of my bike did not keep it serviced and the carbies are full of crap (even after a full service - Lloyd Penn was great by the way - bike runs a dream - excluding my carbies)...
My partner is looking on E-Bay but the search engine seems to think he wants a lo-carb diet book...I do agree that feeding the bike less bread will do it good however, really I am trying to find a bike part. Any suggestions/recommendations?

Re: zx2r engine transplant
What exactly is wrong with the carbs that makes Lloyd believe they need to be replaced - at worst a clean and service, new jets, emulsion tubes, gaskets, o-rings, etc would be cheaper than a replacement set of carbs and you don't then run the risk of getting another 20 year old set of gummed up warn out carbs.Cat wrote:Does anyone know where I can get carbies for a ZX2R?

If you need parts you could try findapart - http://www.findapart.com.au - but don't expect any real bargains.
Good luck with it.

Re: zx2r engine transplant
Hi there all
Thank you for the responses - gives me lots of options (in the meantime I ride anyway!)
The feedback given after the service was that there is a fair bit more to do...they spent 5.5 hours on the bike so I guess in a few months it will be another visit (my bike gets more TLC than I do!)

Re: zx2r engine transplant
You're looking at just under a grand for a 2nd hand engine from a wreckers. I have an 89 model that I was trying to get fixed to sell to a friend. This model had 80,000k's on it, and is on it's second engine. Hard to get anyone to work on them here in Aus. I am just going to have to drop the price real low to sell it. Apparently the 250c and 250a engines are incompatible, different mounting points and such. All I can say is good luck. I have a zx6r now, so I am having lotsa fun
