You've never raced, have you?
Mikuni = more jap crap. Bing is THE thing! Scotty "Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ... 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! CN "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... "Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ... 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! Scotty #35 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. CN "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... Oh. Thanks for the clarification. I have Bing CVs. I like Bings, real simple, that's what my Maicos had. Scotty "Vito" wrote in message ... "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... What is the Lentini mod? And what is 0-0 ? Scotty '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. |
A jap mechanic, eh?
me? no schooling or any trade time, just a room full of trophies. Scotty #514 "Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ... "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... Beg pardon cappy, you may know more about sailing than me, but you don't even come close when it comes to bikes. I think not. I worked as a mechanic in a Suzuki shop for seven years and then I worked as a Technical Advisor for U.S. Suzuki Motor Corp for seven years. I taught carburetion in their training center in Chicago and I taught electrical systems there as well. I spent most of the time in the field helping mechanics fix things they could not figure out. I'm good. Better than you, I'm sure unless you can show similar qualifications. CN |

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!

Neal also proudly claims worked for a sailboat builder that was famous for building crooked boats. BB |
