Lectron carbs
-
Anyone had experience with any of the lectron powerjet carbs? Thinking of upgrading to a 34mm lectron to go with my 3MB barrel once it's ported,
Additionally what carb sizes have people experimented with on dtrs -
I heard of them, but to be honest with you, just jet a VHSA Carb properly and you'll be laughing.
-
@Glynn123 from what I’ve seen I think they’re amazing
-
What size carb did you use on your RE Calum? Also did you have to fit a bigger intake boot? I've heard an early CR 125 34mm manifold and reeds can fit but I'm not sure.
-
@Glynn123 I run the VHSB Carb on the RS, but that's what they had standard.
The DTR runs a TZR Barrel which ran the VHSA as standard.
I just modified the DTR inlet to fit, but you can get step down inducers as well.
-
Well i contacted lectron and apparently the lectron carbs wont work on the dtrs so where the heck do i get one from?
-
@Walney-Reptiles what about smart carbs?
-
@Walney-Reptiles wha? Why not. That doesn't sound right.

@Calum This is what they said to me via email

Josh,
Thank you for reaching out to us. Sorry, no the yz125 carb will not be able to go on your application.So what lectron carbs are people using on there yamaha dtrs?
-
@declan Never heard of them can you send me a link to one that works on the dtr?
-
@Walney-Reptiles I don’t have any knowledge beyond that I know what they look like

What no that's a load of rubbish.
It's just a carb, they clearly are not interested in helping you. You can do what you like, I don't know much about the lectron carb but if you are that interested in one just buy it and fit it.
-
@Calum Il go for anycarb as long as it dosnt restrict my bike, if you tell me which one togo for il buy it when i can then if you dont mind can you help me set it up as im not to clued up on setting them up, dont want to burn a hole in my piston if you get what i mean
-
Different experience from Lectron when I ask for some information
-
@mhbikesnbits What did they say to you?
-
@Walney-Reptiles it’s on my last post bud messed the screen shot up just updated my last post
-
It's a carb, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I don't run stock carbs on my bikes.
-
@mhbikesnbits Just seen it cheers for the info bud did you go for one of these carbs in the end?
-
