1988 KX500?
chipped tooth:
What size did you get Umberto? And is your bike mostly stock?
I have a few 42mm PWK one from Eddy Sanders that seem to work but I was thinking bigger than 42mm if I turn the whick up!

My bike is an 88 motor bored to 88mm with a Wossner piston, stock porting, an FMF Gnarly pipe and Q Stealth silencer. The Lectron is a 44 with the 3xl needle, and four turns in on the power jet. Here is a recap of the installation:

Good write up!
Was there any restriction once the bigger carb was stretched into the intake?
I've considered the idea of making my own on a few bikes but haven't gotten any farther than that.
Is the V force reed setup the hot ticket for these bikes?
Suppose I should sniff around the performance section!

There was no restriction in the intake, you just needed to boil the intake to keep it from splitting under stress. The VF2 is the way to go. Sandblasted has a really nice write up on how to modify them to use the stock intake, maybe he can post a link.

I've noticed!
Makes a guy want to break out the Tig welder!
