not to be picky, but you should state that the BSR34 is 2001+... I do believe.

before that the carbs did not have a mid-main.... which they have now....

I'll see if I can dig up the specs.

Good call, let us know.

according to a very trustworthy source....


BST33 was the model Carb for Pre 2001


thanks Jack!

Anyone know a source for a copy of the owners manual or a good service manual?
