Mikuni HSR:
You can see the top cover has a different design compared to the genuine. Also you can locate the size of the carbure-
tor and the “Mikuni” logo on the genuine while the fake carburetor doesn’t show it at all. The fake carb is missing the “Assembled in
Mexico” decal.
Genuine PWK:
A serial number is lightly imprinted below
the PWK mark. The hoses should be a dark pink PLAS
TECH hose. A “Motorcycle Race Use Only” label will be
placed below the Keihin logo. Also various Quality Control
marks should be visible. Genuine Keihin Jets should also
have the jet size imprinted to the jet.
Copy PWK:
A copy of the PWK carburetor will have an unmarked light
hose. The serial number will be darker than the genuine carburetor. There’s
no label indicating that the carburetor is for “Motorcycle Race Use Only” and
a “SUDOO” decal is placed below the Keihin logo instead of a “Sudco” decal.
You will also notice that there won’t be any black, green, and orange Quality
Control marks. The jets and needles tend to be unmarked in these type of
carburetors as well.
Mikuni VM:
Here is a
comparison between a
Genuine and a copy of
a Mikuni VM carbure-
tor. The fake carbu-
retor has the “Minkui”
imprinted on the top
and side of the carbu-
retor. On a genuine
carburetor you will ind
the “Mikuni” logo. Also
you will notice that the
fake carburetor doesn’t
have the “NOT FOR
AIRCRAFT USE” decal
and the anchor plates.
The way the fake car-
buretor was designed
is completely different
from the genuine one.
You can see that there
are extra openings and
attachments.
