Marauder is the European/canadian name for the GZ. Dunno about the K3. Never heard that bit before.

Why were you looking for a carb? if you need one, I have one laying around that you can get from me, it is off an 03 GZ.

Re: I bought my first bike today

Is the carb rebuilt and nice and clean ready to install? Maybe I should buy a brand new onw with no problems...Where can I get a good one for a good price. Maybe one that has been bored out for better performance...

For the shifter just loosen the nuts on threaded rod,one nut is left hand thread.Turning rod moves lever up or down,retighten nuts.Brake pedal has adjustment under pedal.When you adjust brake pedal you also must adjust at rear wheel and brake light switch.

Re: I bought my first bike today

Sad to say that it is apparent that you don't have a good handle on how a carb really works.
You don't "bore them out". :roll:

Re: I bought my first bike today

A bigger carb if any will not do you any good.You are better off cleaning up your own and doing the needle shim and main jet.These bikes run very lean from the factory.To get the most out of these mods most people here do air filter and exhaust at the same time.I done all three at once and found a much better working bike.I also went to a 16t front sprocket and like it.Do a search as there is lots of information on these mods.
