Classic uses a Mikuni VM22 while the SMX uses a Mikuni BS25. 22mm vs 25mm. No offense meant, just couldn't imagine wanting a smaller carb. But as a repo, I understand now.
classic=22mm, MX=25mm. try to check in For sale section if someone selling stock carb of MX. if you want additional performance in stock form, try to change your CDI, valve spring and rear sprocket. :thumbsup:
Thanks sir barurot and HKholic..:thumbsup: Now I see.. :( Probably that's the issue why my SMX has restriction in its performance..:( If I change my carb back to sniper mx stock carb, I need to change my manifold, throttle and grip.. oh my..:(

Depends on what throttle cable you have now, but the manifold for sure have to change. Flange mount(old) vs spigot(new). +1 on checking the F/S section. Lots of people changing out carbs. I myself have 2 sitting on the shelf.;) If you have 1 cable that enters the throttle housing on the handle bars = old. If there is 2 cables = new.

Yeah I can sell you one, but I'm in Vietnam! Up to you bro. PM me. :D
Woah! heheheh I can't accomodate your shipping cost.. hahaha;) By the way, I'm thinking to install a keihin PE26 instead of looking for a stock SMX carb but my TPS would be neglected.. You think it would give my bike an bad effect on its performance if i'll neglect the TPS?

Can't say I blame you with the shipping. :D I've used my bike with a PE28 and stock cdi before(2011 Exciter w/BS25). Couldn't really tell a huge difference in not using the TPS. Granted the cdi will not adjust itself, it's not going to hurt anything. Your fuel consumption may suffer a little. But I wouldn't let that stop me from upgrading to a bigger carb. Go for it and get a rcdi later. :thumbsup:

Thanks sir HKholic! :thumbsup: Is your engine bore still stock on using PE28? I'm planning to buy Keihin PE26 only since I'm on stock bore.. But that TPS thing is confusing me.. What is the use of TPS? I don't get the thing they call "mapping" of cdi.. Some people says that their indicator for over heat lit up..

Nice score! No need change your throttle cable now. :)
yes.. yahoo! ;) By the way, where do we measure the size of the carb? Is it on the end mouth that would be connected to the manifold? the piston/ slide of my carb says "K30".. They say it's 30mm.. but when we measure the end mouth, it's around 26.5..

Yep, the diameter is measured from the manifold side. the "K30" that you see is the slide cut away. Read as a 3.0 slide. ;)
