If you trail ride, it's good. If your a dune ride, I would guess that your gonna always be looking for more power (aka top end speed), you will want to stick with dual carbs. There's always some messing with jetting till you get it where you want it. Easy to work on, less jets to buy, and no stuck throttle after going thru water!!!

No offense, but I'm going to wager that you didn't try searching... cause you'd still be reading.... :P

 

I had really good low end in mine, but still killer top end. Wouldn't run anything else. I had a pair of 34mm Flatsides to put on and just decided last night that I like the single so much, I'm selling the 34's and getting another single 35, but airstryker this time and a Graydon intake. :)

The stock carbs (not all of them) have a problem with sticking if you go through water. Most any aftermarket carb will fix the problem.

I had problems everytime I went thru water with stock carbs, especially in the spring and fall when the temps were colder. Drove me nuts. When riding with some others, we would like to switch bikes to see what each ride was like. Well I was always worried about someone getting hurt, especially me. With the single carb, never a concern. Now I don't hesitate when I see water, instead of going around water, I just aim for it! Now I only have to worry about getting stuck in the deep stuff.

 

The question isn't "why isn't a sticking throttle a problem with a single carb", but why is it a problem with stock carbs?

maybe the stockers seal really bad. I did have my pwk slide stick once in the dunes, but I think it was due to sand in the fuel and it got into the slide. It also clogged my pilot in the same deal. That was before the inline filter.

About a year or so ago we had a thread for sticking carbs that was really really long that tried to track all the reasons and fixes for the sticking carbs. See if you can find it. Basically it came down to the stock carbs just suck and if you go aftermarket the problem goes away.

 

BTW, moookie132, where is the rest of the video that goes with that clip you play for your avatar? :headbang::evil:
