30 years ago they were the hot ticket. Lectrons are the only way to go if you are carbureted.

Ray - are Lectrons any use for the road?
How about the Mikuni Multijets?

Lectrons are great for drag bikes or street race bikes but not good for street riding. They idle at 1500 rpm or higher as they have no idle circuits. I ride my small tire bike up to the line & back to the pits after every run without issue though. If I do a REALLY hot street race type 1570 motor but want to actually ride it on the street, I would use 4 big Keihin flat slide dirt bike carbs, just to have the idle circuits.Originally posted by londonboards View Post

The 4 big mikunis will work great!! you have to commit to tuning them in and buy the correct pilot jets, don't forget there are 3 styles that fit into the bodies - and frustration will set in if you have the wrong type.SUZUKI , There is no substituteComment
