it may increase a lil bit of your acceleration...

in removing your choke just unscrew the screws in the middle and at the side then pull the choke.. that simple :D

if lean there a problem to u..have to canhge the wear part inside..or simply overhaul..
if rich is also a problem to u..ur bike will jerk off during high speed..or simply cant get top speed...

ask ur mech bro..whether it suit to other carb jettings..
if uma racing jetting..huhuhu...better get ur pocket full of money..hehehe

thanks to fleep for this good tutorial.
i have applied this to my aftermarket carb :)

guys you should try the technique called OVAL BORING of carb...
its one of the best way of boring out carb :D

the idea is you will boreout the upper onehalf portion of your carb to make it OVAL shape..

why oval?

if you have noticed and heard on someone talks about bigger carbs
have bad low rpm performance but good higher rpm performance.
its because on bigger holes on carb makes the airspeed velocity low...

because you are increasing the area only of the upper half portion upto the top.

you are increasing the power on high rpm but retaining the power
on low rpm.

heres my example... sorry carb i tried is not stock carb.
but same principle for oval bored out carb



using manual labor :)


notice the difference on the thickness of the metal of the bottom and top.

I just got done ported and polished my carb. Next step is to install the Dial-A-Jet and set it up for Nitrous Oxide. Here are some pics:

it took me several nights to decide if i bore my yoshi carb HAHAHA
but what the heck, we modify our bike to perform much better.
whats the use of having a carb if you dont modify it heheh
well it works better before, now its way way much much better :D hahaha

you can bore the left and right side walls from upper onehalf to top...

speak english bro for benefit of our asian friends.
yes it can be done on stock carbs

@az135
what sandpaper number you use to polish it?
bore out your carb since you have already started modifying it...

I used a cone type polishing wheel with polishing compounds after porting with a stone wheel. It took me about 20 hours total. I flow tested afterward and gain about 17% on the top end with the choke and about 22% without the choke.

it is 1st time i saw ppl use sand paper to do rebore carb.. and i wonder how long it take to make 22mm to 26mm rebore size.... i use gun potting hardware and caliper ( sorry if my spell wrong ) for measurement the size.. that my way huhuu
