  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

At a crossroad: Box or Pods?

Very interesting. So did it work ok with the CV carbs and i guess stage 3 jet kit? If so why did you change to RS flatslides? What improvement was there and did you change bore size compared to the CV carbs? Overall i'm trying to avoid buying filters and jet kit for my CV carbs only to decide i want to buy some other carbs.

The pods and DJ Stage 3 kit worked great. I just wanted more performance and the RS flatslides may just be the most bang for the buck mod you can do, especially for a bolt on item. The smallest size RS set is 34mm and can be run of 750 and up bikes. Once I installed the flatslides my clutch had a pronounced slip, something that never happened with the CVs. The reason, gobs more power and acceleration with the flatslides. Contrary to what one might think bottom end is still great, it will pull cleanly from down low as long as you don't whack the throttle open. If you do the bike will bog and lose steam. Once you get some rpm up then just keep the throttle pegged and hold on.

even more interesting! Am i right in thinking if the 34mm is ok for each of the 750's cylinders it'll be ok for the 400's? I've found the UK distributor for them and they are selling the 34mm for Kawa 750 twin and the XS650 http://www.allensperformance.co.uk/products-rs.html so perhaps not looking likely. I'll call them tomorrow and have a chat.

They should work fine since a rack of four works on 750s and up. I see those are TM series carbs. They are a great carb too. If they know their stuff they can get them jetted correctly for you. They may not be on a rack and if so you have to find a throttle setup with cables for each carb. The old two stroke twins had a set up with a single cable running off the throttle that would split into two cables down the line.
