Reply To: 125 carburettors comparison
GTRHi yes you can use GT carbs on your GV
Differences as below:
- Plunger (This is infamously known as “Jet Boost, Jet Streamer” , it squirts a tiny bit of fuel each throttle twist, so that the “heavier” GTR bikes can move forward.
- Overflow pipes are at the top diaphragms
- Floats have a minor design change because of above 2nd point i said.
- These are called Design 2 carbs
- Requires more maintance (has extra holes in the bodies and floats , due to addition of plunger on the side)
GV Aquila & GT Naked (Pre 2010 era GT Naked)
- Uses GV125 Carbs
- GV Carbs are called “Design 1”
- Less parts (ie. no plungers on the side, no needles in the throats)
- Easier to maintain due to aformentioned point above this sentence
- Overflow and Drain pipes are at the float bowls. Can’t be used with GTR carbs for obvious reasons
Hope that helps!
