What flatslides are legal for Pre 85?
« on: December 21, 2014, 10:11:45 pm »
I'm sorry if this has been raised in past, what flatslide carbs are legal for Pre 85?  I imagine only the Mikuni TM's that came on the RM125/250/465 and Magnum's?

My opinion is.

The key to it all is that the class is Pre 85.

GCR 16.15.13.1.  Acceptable for Pre 85 class are machines and COMPONENTS built up to and including the 1984 model.

If there is a carby that was available in 1984 (or earlier) it may also be able to be used.

Were any Keihin 'PJ's or 'PWK's available in '84?

PWKs came on 1988 KXs, FWIW.

Flat slide Keihin carbs were definitely fitted to Hondas prior to 1985.

This is a shot of one fitted to a 1984 Honda RC500:

Ah, but is it the same as the production 85 model PJ? It's visibly different to the 86+ PJ.

That photo would be contemporary John, perhaps from a display at the AMA museum.

This one is from 84, Thorpes' RC500:

Nathan, Mikuni VM's are a non issue for eligibility; they come in myriad variations..

But the rules specifically allow all sorts of round slides.
