    Ninja EX500 carbs on an XS650?

    I've been running these for a couple of years and really like them.

    XS750 carbs on a 650? (obviously only 2 of the 3...)

    Hi Joe, I fitted GPZ500 carbs to my tracker, very easy mod, much lighter than the originals and I found them very easy to set up, also can be cheap on Ebay. I'm near Swindon - where are you in the UK?

    Cheap piston sets on ebay

    OK - thanks 2M, that explains my confusion and the reason for my problems. Engine number stamped starts 447, rods are marked 533. So - my bad, I didn't think to check the rods specifically. Hopefully if I get a set of the oversize 533 pistons they will do the job! So apologies to cruzimage...
