    Hi, a question for those knowledgeable in carburettors.
    My sport has Kehin carburettors and the only new inlet rubbers I can see are for Mikunis. Are the two types identical bar for the name? I’m needing the rubbers between the head and the carbs, so would like to know before I take things apart. Cheers!

    I've recently replaced the ones on my 98 TBS. wemoto, near Brighton (I assume that you're uk) have the right ones, takes a few days to get them though as they're not a stock item.
    When fitting them, make sure you get them around the right way!
    There's a good write up about replacing them somewhere, I'll look it up and post back..

    Yes, Scotland. Just working off a phone at the moment and Wemoto’s website not the best to navigate.
    Thanks for the link on the job. I’ve long suspected it to be a pain in the arse

    www.triumphparts.gbr.cc have them listed £6.95 each for Keihin carbs. Mikuni are £5.95.
    To be found in the 'Fuel, oil filters, air filters' section.
    Hope this helps.
