Shows you know nothing about carburetors for motorcycles.

Nothing beats a Mikuni carburetor.

The reason being is that Mikunis are totally adjustable
with respect to low speed, mid-range, and top speed
whereas crapola like Bings have no mid-range adjustment
possible.

Mikunis have air and fuel jets for low range
Bings only have a screw to adjust the air.

Mikunis have jet needles and needle jets for
mid range adjustment while Bings offer only
needle jets.

Both Bings and Mikunis have an assortment
of high speed jets.

Anybody who knows how to tune a motorcycle
for max performance given the altitude the
machine is used in knows Mikunis are the
preferred choice.

I hope this helps.

Oh. Thanks for the clarification. I have Bing CVs. I like Bings,
real simple, that's what my Maicos had.

What is the Lentini mod? And what is 0-0 ?

Not to worry on your R100s. BM buys fuel injection systems
pre-calibrated
from Italy for their R1100/1200 models. They have a simple pot
(variable
resistor) on the throttle shaft that tells the computer how far open
the
throttle is. About 1 in 10 of these are off a tad making the bike
run
crappy. Bob Lentini's "mod" is simply to reposition of the pot with
the
throttle closed so it sends the right 'closed' voltage to the
computer like
it is supposed to do and does on most BMs. But the adjustment screws
have
"tell tale" paint installed in Italy that perforce gets broken
during this
fix so BMW calls it a "unauthorize modification". Replacing the
$10/apiece
spark plugs with cheap US ones finishes the job.
