What?? Do you mean Suzi strokers....

Afraid so Rick.

Umm....that was a rhetorical question, TZ.....

FYI, Kawasaki also used a two-point-per-cylinder injection setup on the 72/73 H2's. I'm not sure about the other triples but it would make sense that they would be the same.[/quote]

Err. I realize that, but there's no rule that says rhetorical questions can't be answered.

Kawasaki triples typically mix oil in the float chamber of the carb AFAIK which is more or less the same process as most other 2 smokes.

Whichever way we look at it, it's smelly oily way to make power - or was that the point?

Actually, only the 74 and 75 H2's mixed the oil in the float bowls.....

Hey, JA, I figured you would be along soon as we started to talk about those crude H and S triples.

I seem to recall someone talking about slingers on kawasaki cranks, but the oilways to the main bearings are similar to a Yamaha IIRC. Please set us straight as to how Kawasaki lubricate the triples.

Ciao

LOL... The S series just had intake port injection, all H1's 500's had oil injected to the left mains and intake, as also the 72-73 H2 750's. 74-75 had oil to the left mains and to the carbs, a EPA thing..........
