In this video, I show some before and after video of my 1981 Suzuki PE175, as well as some riding footage. I just got done installing and tuning a Keihin PWK 35 Air Striker on this bike.

Suzukis PE175, 250 and 400 were great machines

It seems like that bike is running phenomenally better than it ever has before.

Thanks man, I'm hoping it seems just as grand on it's first outing with the new carb this weekend. I'm planning for this to replace my RM465 for racing.

I've been riding that RM465 for a little over a year now. It's the 1982 with the flatslide carburetor and the 4 speed gearbox. It's a monster of a bike to race in the woods, though. The PE175 is easier to carry speed through corners on, as well as ride to it's potential with confidence.

I just thought you dubbed the audio of a sanchez from grand theft auto accelerating over it

How does riding the PE with the PWK compare to the stock carb? Did you use a cheapie China pwk?

@vintageadventurerrides Ай бұрын

The stock carburetor was basically unusable. I don't know what was wrong, but no matter what I tried it would just foul plugs and flood. I went with an actual Keihin carb. I wouldn't be caught dead with a China carburetor. They're not suitable for a racer. I did have a stock carburetor off a 1985 Yamaha IT200 on the bike before. It was a very similar carburetor to the stock one off the PE, as they were both Mikuni VM34SS carbs. The Keihin does have the edge over that carb in that it has much better throttle response. Top end performance difference is marginal, but coming out of corners is far better with the modern flatslide.

@@vintageadventurerrides Thanks for the reply. I have a 1984 PE175 that I rebuilt and is all stock, it runs pretty decent. I also have a 1983 PE175 that I am building and I want to make that one a bit spicier. I was thinking about running a PWK as well because the stock carb is pretty trashed. What jetting did you end up with? It would be helpful to know for a good baseline.
