How is it running with the pod filters?

[TJS]

Runs great with no dead spots!

If you order pod filters make sure to order oblong shaped ones because the carbs are too close   together to use rounds. Learned from experience. Expensive mistake.

let me know what you think

what are you take on the  delkevic slip ons  for this bike ?

[MIAMIBANDIT]

your bike inspired me to  keep  going

[TJS]

Nice work! You should take your pics and build info and start a thread. Your "How to ...." info could help the next guy!

[MIAMIBANDIT]

I will  do that waiting on a  few other parts  to  make it come alive

A long time ago a friend of mine who raced flat track and built his own race bikes with lectron carbs told me its a bad idea using K&N style air filters with CV carbs, because they need an air box to function right. Just thought id mention this since your using K&N style filters on your CV carbs, you may be loosing power by not using the air box.

CV carbs are crap anyway, they are a pain to tune. so if you plan on tuning it, it may be worth your time investigating on the use of round or flat slide conventional carbs, maybe carbs off a dirtbike with a special set up for your bike and a 4 into 1 cable ? Thats what i did for my XS650, used 2 carbs from Polaris 250 atv and changed the jets, needles, slide and adjusted the float heights.

See notes above....pods work great! Pipe + Stage III Factory Pro jet kit. When in doubt use a dyno and a Suzuki mechanic.

Why loose drivability when you can use regular carbs ?

Maybe if anyone could get ahold of some Lectron carb's and use them ? They are the next best thing to fuel injection.

Finally got another machined sprocket. It's two RM250 sprockets welded together.

damn...I want my bike to be like yours...your bike is an art

Awesome job !

Ok I did the whole factory pro config30 kit and got the right k&n filter pods (the same ones you have ru1824). My question is how do you get them on? It's very tight and I am haveing trouble getting them to stretch over the intake. Any advice??

[TJS]

Lanky,

I srayed the inside rim of the filter with silicone and made sure they were left in a warm room overnight. They are tight! I also sprayed the carb rim. Make sure they are on straight and very tight or they will pop off like I had happen.
