National number 42 back when Joel Roberts (CZ) and Hans Maisch
(Maico)
were all the rage. I beat Hans in Olathe, KS. (only because he
DNF'd)
Those two were FAAAAST!

You've never raced, have you?
Mikuni = more jap crap.
Bing is THE thing!

Smooth bore Mikunis flow better than your European crap
plus they have more adjustment possibility.
As for top end being the only important thing that is
bunk! If your motor stutters or gasps because of
poor low and mid-range jetting it takes a lot longer
to get to the rpms where the main jet circuitry comes
into play.
Mikuni rules!

Shows you know nothing about carburetors for motorcycles.
Beg pardon cappy, you may know more about sailing than me, but
you
don't even come close when it comes to bikes.
Bings, and Amals for that matter, flow better at top end.
That's
where
you want it.
bottom end? mid range? Bah! WFO!

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 ?

'77 R100S
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.
