Mikuni Oz Product Description
This kit is available with or without the mounting flanges supplied.
Please note: This kit comes pre jetted. This kit comes with the mounting flanges. This kit comes with black pod filters, if you require red or oval pods please advise when purchasing.
The initial jetting setup on this carburetor kit is a starting point only. As there are too many variations around the world no two bikes are the same. We have tried to get the jetting as close as possible to the original but sometimes this may not be the case with your bike and you may need extra jets. We also recommend 91 or 95 Octane fuel only in all of our carburetors.
For the Kawasaki KZ400 we recommend the VM32 carbs for better torque and performance, though the stock carbs on some 400 twins are larger you must allow for the area taken by the shaft and butterfly in the throat which consequently makes for a much smaller venturi than the stated carb size, which also has an air flow interruption factor. Going faster has never been so easy, say goodbye to hard starting, irregular idle, hesitations, and flatspots.
The VM32 Carb Measures 58mm diameter at the air-filter inlet end, 102mm front to back and 40mm diameter at the outlet end.
The Dual Mikuni VM32 carburetor kit is easily fitted to your Kawasaki KZ400 Twin and the improvement is instant. This kit includes our shorter 70mm long POD filters, optional CNC machined silver anodised manifolds with heavy duty rubber boots and a nylon lined premium quality throttle cable with 70 degree lower and chrome plated top fitting to suit your OEM throttle housing. The most commonly suited jets for Australian fuel and conditions have been fitted as well as spares for fine tuning the top end at WOT. Climate, altitude and fuel density from different octane fuels all have varying effects on final fine tuning as does cam, exhaust and cylinder head porting etc. Please do contact us if you believe further fine tuning is required and we can guide you through the process. Once tuned a VM Mikuni will not go out of tune for many years.
At Mikunioz, for over 30 years, we have been constantly checking and where necessary upgrading our jetting specs as fuel quality changes. Regular fuel in the USA is 85 octane or 91 in their premium brands which have numerous additives and blends added (basically smells and drys like wood varnish) which results in a totally different jetting spec and product performance. This carb as supplied from the factory will never work on this bike and requires a total re-jet which is done here before shipping.
You will instantly experience better throttle response, improved acceleration, increased horsepower and torque.
Our premium grade cables use a Nylon lined outer housing. The Nylon liner inside the outer cable housing conduit is for reduced friction and heat resistance. They are supplied with shortened 70 degree lower cable end fittings for better petcock clearance, an inline adjuster on the top cable and a chrome OEM type top fitting for attachment to the stock Kawasaki Z series twin throttle housing.
All throttle cables must be lubricated during installation with cable lube or a very light oil such as 3 in 1 to avoid clogging. Besides the need to lubricate the inner wire in the housing, the cable end barrels at their pivot points should be lubricated with water proof grease.
If you need to clean your cable which is particularly relevant for dirt bikes. We recommend using WD40 or a very light oil such as 3 in 1. This effectively washes away dirt from the cable, without clogging it.
