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.

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. |
