Effect of Ram Air Induction on Carbs?

ZXR750 ones are for looks too

This may be wrong.

My ZX9R has small inlets which sit inside the main ram air vent. These pressurise the Carb Float Bowls to the same extent the airbox is pressurised to, to ensure petrol can still be drawn up through the jets into an area of equal pressure.

On the ZX750 H/J and K, yeah. I think the L and M (RR) had a duct more like the ZX750N (ZX7RR) and ZX750P (ZX7R), albeit only on one side, that fed a pressurised airbox.

Been a while since I had anything to do with Kwak 750s though, so I could be wrong.

Second year now. I think you dont really see the applied, interesting side of the engineering course until year 2. And thats when things really start to click if you dont come from a mechanical background. Didfor me. Of course your course might be different.

I wish i had known about a motorcycle engineering course before i applied to university but oh well i will work towards being a motorcycle engineer after i graduate from this degree.

I'm on the foundation year at the moment as I didn't go to college so we're not really being taught anything about bike this year. Just concentrating on Maths, Physics and project work, which is what this is. So at the moment I know rod all and I'm just running at it blindfolded.

How far through your degree are you?

Does Robert Fleck still do his thing at QUB? He used to run a bike racing team from the uni, which caught my interest when I was doing the UCAS thing. Didn't bother applying though, since Belfast still wasn't exactly safe at the time.
