keihin cr carb group buy

Im looking for a couple (4 to be exact) people to go in on a group buy with me. the HARD RACING site sponsor from another 250 site said he would hook us up if we did a group buy. what im trying to buy is:



im just trying to get a little extra UMPH from my ninjette. yes yes "maybe you should just buy a bigger bike" but why would i want to sell this awesome bike which i bought for fairly cheap , and turn around and spend $9000-11000 on a new bike? for 400 big ones or less you can get that extra little something some of you are craving for without moving up in cc's. so there it is , anyone up for a group buy??????

If I still had my 250 I'd probably be in for this, but alas I don't.
Didn't know there was a carb alternative for the bike, awesome.

I miss mah 250.

Do the CR carbs have a choke or cold start device ? Some racing carbs don't . I want to use them for the street.

Based on the above picture, they have a choke.

the orignal price is 425-435 i forget , BUT with the group buy well get a discount. As for the dyno chart the site sponsor said their locating a dyno , so the chart will be up as soon as they find one i guess.

Well going to fuel injection on this bike actually makes a net LOSS in HP in Europe...so I would assume changing carbs won't see much of a increase...
where you will see increases if you REALLY want them would be in:

porting and polishing the head
balancing/blueprinting the motor
racing camshafts
shaved or thinner head gasget for increased compression

but none of these are really worth doing on this bike...
maybe the increased compression
and maybe the camshafts...

They feel like close to double I put the CR's on a few bikes, they kick ass on cv carbs

If your interested in fuel economy, you wont be happy with them.

Slightly mistaken, the loss of power was not due to going to the fuel injection, but to meet the stricter regulations that could not be met with the carbs. Remember, in Europe the 250 falls into a different catagory of licensing then they do here in the US. Once someone figures out a solid aftermarket fuel controller, the Euro spec bikes will make more power then the US carbed bikes.

I have thought of spending the money for the CR carbs, but out of the box, the gain is going to be minimal. They will give you the best bang if you run a full exhaust, some good cylinder head work, and a way to adjust the timing to cope with the extra air and fuel. Until then, I will save my money up for all of that at once.

Well Factory Pro sells a 5+ degree advance woodruff key which takes care of the timing advancement...and while I assumed the loss in horsepower in Europe was from the Euro 3 emissions stuff, what it shows is that even with that taken off, FI would show us how the best fuel mix would be...so even with a good carb setup, the power gains from fuel/air would hit a ceiling because of the small motor...
more power could only really come by moving the rev ceiling higher...I would guess...

Well as I have posted on the other sites about this. Unless you are racing you SHOULD NOT BUY THIS! Bogs down in lower RPMS when you open the throttle it opens and you get way to much fuel. Your idle needs to be at about 3500 to not have any problems with them.

yea no way fuel injection would provide less power, unless it was poorly made.
I dont see where the increase would come from? we already can provide a good ammount of fuel with stock carbs.. This sounds like something that should be paired with other mods (turbo?).

Even on the mag where they bump the power up to 35hp, i dont think they replaced carbs (could be wrong)

No they didn't upgrade the carbs. I don't believe they were available when they made their maxton runs. Our carbs are sufficient but someone will always buy something like this even when it is not needed because they have money burning a hole in their pocket. This is great for on track usage but using it for a strictly street application does not make sense in anyway shape or form.
