Carb Question

[ozstriker]

I've still got the stock carbs and was wondering would it be worth it with my mods (in signature) to get bigger carbs

 

if so how big and why

 

i ride mostly trails a bit of sand pits and a little mud

 

but unfortunatly no dunes close to here so stuck on trails

 

post some links so i can check prices out if possible thanks

 

also wondering if vito's degree key is worth buying or ???

[Indubitably]

I'd keep the stockos until you get it ported or something

[frocashmoney24]

well, porting matches good with bigger carbs, but if you want more power for cheap , try boring out ur stock carbs, some engine shops do it

If you hit any water you will appreciate new carbs. Don't go any bigger than the 28mm for a fairly stock motor.

thanks guys

 

what brand of 28's mm do you suggest

 

and is that 4deg key from vito any good or what?

KEIHIN PWK 28 is a great carb for what you are doing. Call the nearest Kawasaki dealer and ask for a price on a carb for a 2001 kx100. My local dealer is around $100 each. When they ask why you need two say because I want to change the carb instead of the jets.

Also look at www.motocarrera.com they sell mikuni 28s for $105. Good luck!!

Those flat slide 28mm mikunis look like a pretty good deal. What about the choke though. Would you be getting 2 completely separate carbs with 2 separate chokes to turn on and can you reach the choke on the right side carb when its on the bike and behind the left side carb? Or can you get them as a pair with the chokes linked like the ones on the stock banshee carbs?

I just choke the left side on my keihins and it works just fine.
