copemech Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Chaves had one on his late '03 bike. He said he liked it, but he is just looking for more power. I think the round bores are smoother and thats why Sherco stayed with them in '04. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne thais Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 David has gone back to using the Keihin. It is also a flat slide. I have used Keihins on all of my bikes since "99" and like they way they perform better than the stock 26mm Dellorto. Just my preference, I think the bike runs smoother and stronger. I just put one on my sons "04", he liked the way mine ran so he got a Keihin for Christmas. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne thais Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 D. The stock manifold can be stretched to receive the larger Keihin, if it is warm and you use a little lube on the carb and the manifold it helps. Here is the information that I sent another guy who was asking about installing a Keihin. I am using a 45 pilot in mine and a 48 in my sons. The carb comes with a 45. For main jets I am running a 130 and have a 125 in the other one. I will probably go with 130 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
