Hi folks! I've had my DS since Sep 8, 2001 and all I've done to it is a White Bros slipon. Since my last ride I've decided to replace the Mikuni with either a Lectron or a something better than the stock one.

I've done some reading and searching but didn't find exactly what I need. What's the best carb for a stock 2001 that's reasonably priced? I'm thinking Lectron but I'm open to suggestions. I am willing to spend upwards of $350 give or take.

My main riding is Pismo and Glamis. I rarely ride anything but sand.

 

You can obtain lectrons from fastbygast they are the master dist.they can also set you up with the cable assy.Kevin is the man to talk too but go with at least the 44.I have run the 44.40.38.48 and the infamous hp46hv and the the 44 for the money is the best run you will get.but a mickey48 will lay the smack on all of them for all around preformance.And a FCR will put all to comers to shame on every level.But is also the most expensive.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

Here's another option

 

Don't forget to budjet for a different throttle housing if you go with a Lectron. The stock throttle won't open the carb all the way.

My 2 cents - I love my Lectron 46HV !!!

 

My bike woke up big time with the HV46... you'll be surprised how much that one item will boost performance. MRDS is right.. you'll need a new thumb throttle.. either moose or terry cable.

YOU'LL ALSO need your intake ported as well to take advantage of it.

 

All of that on a $350 budget is near impossible unless you pick up some good used deals.

 

How about if I just got the HV46 and a new throttle? I'm not looking for a race machine but I would like to be able to beat my buddy's Raptor. Could I do that for under $400? I could go higher but would prefer to not go above $500 total.

And thanks for all the feedback guys. Very nice to see.

 

If you go too fastbygast and talk to kevin you will be able to get a lectron 46 with a throttle and a HV insert for under 400.00 last i checked under 350.00.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] eric dose add a idle circute to his but i have yet to have a idle problem with my standard lectrons

 

What is an HV insert?

He will also have to have his intake ported ~$150

 

I'm kinda curious why I would "have" to get my intake ported? I can understand it would be desirable but "have to"?
