yep, remember some earlier threads from here as well. and even if fabrication wouldn't be needed, don't think that the lack of the slide carb would be enjoyable.
since my cv part is good, there might be bit more chances to find some used set with healthy slide part and wear/damages elsewhere.
again betting on Greece; generally used to find decent amount of options there with lower prices compared to items listed online. although, quality of communication and level of trust varies.

plenty of single cyl bikes use "only CV" no slide, work just fine, same for the raptor itself that utilizes our engines (more or less)

Good luck finding a decent slide carburetor.... if you dont, then you have this option

well, thanks for these infos.
yes, it's clear that cv type is pretty "default" setup.
despite of some intricate character of that "ydis", still thinking that it's very nice solution - slide until midrange, where throttle feel and feedback seems more enjoyable and maybe important as well, and cv for high revs for more smoothness.
at least that's how i get it.
so let's see whether i'll be able to find some decent replacement.
othervise, that double cv seems also good option. i see it needs both intake manifolds with similar output diameter (the bigger one). furthermore, what about stock airbox? that custom pale green parts are for this or for some other reason?

its not my bike, its form a thread in thumper talk


https://www.thumpertalk.com/forums/t...-carb-upgrade/


some tips on jetting too


dont know the details, the guy obviously preferred to put two "sock" foam filters instead of modifying the airbox. like i said, there is fabrication involved also with the thorttle cable



you might like the slide, but there are also disadvantages to it, and if you dont find a REALLY good one, its surly not going to deliver that beautiful feel and feedback that you mention.


unless you can hold that used carb in your hand and test the slide play, you are in danger of ordering used parts that are no better than yours...


my 2 cents

call it "2 cents" but it's indeed good advices & infos (including link). thanks for all of these.
as for testing, chances are that a friend residing in Greece might be able to help. that could be a best scenario. knowing that srx600 also runs the same carbs (at least body) maybe will increase the chances. and of course, it's nice to know that there's reliable plan b as well.
