The Yoshi carb
Hi guys,
I have the bike running well with the only modifications being Blue Flame exhausts, R6 suspension front and back, digital clocks and a fuel pump.
Would you guys recommend the Yoshimura carb? If so, what does it require in addition to just purchasing it, or does it just bolt straight on?
I’m fairly certain my bike is running the standard air filter but would you also recommend the K&N filter for better flow?
Thanks!

Re: The Yoshi carb
Keihin FCR or Mikuni TDMR carbs... pricey and don’t come up second often but it’s best bang for buck! Get the kit with cables & filter, goes in place of standard carbs and obviously have to be jetted to suit your engine.

Re: The Yoshi carb
What are yoshimura carbs? I've never heard of those.
I happen to have both, FCR & TDMR.
If I remember correctly there are one or two on this forum not selling very fast.drix wrote:Keihin FCR or Mikuni TDMR carbs... pricey and don’t come up second often but it’s best bang for buck!

Is there a reason they are better than the Yoshi set then?Tarwetijger wrote:What are yoshimura carbs? I've never heard of those.

How much for either of them and what are the benefits of doing a swap?

Re: The Yoshi carb
I have some FCR41s going for £550 if you're interested list price new is crazy, would include foam filter and K&N for breather hose and new intake rubbers. They are specific for TRX and include TPS

I can not tell you as I still don't know what a Yoshi set is.00mike00 wrote: Is there a reason they are better than the Yoshi set then?
Both Keihin FCR and Mikuni TDMR are flatslide carbs and although they are not cheap, there is no better way for bolt-on extra horsepower.
I'm not willing to sell, yet. But there is already an offer above.How much for either of them and what are the benefits of doing a swap?
Benefits: a bit more power, better throttle response, nice typical sound from the intake: "BRÔAP".

Re: The Yoshi carb

Re: The Yoshi carb
Yoshi make 'kits' from Keihin FCR's and Mikuni TDMR's, as well as their own small carb for Honda Apes.
I've never seen any of them outside of Japan.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a decent modification to the TRX.dicky wrote:Yoshi make 'kits' from Keihin FCR's and Mikuni TDMR's, as well as their own small carb for Honda Apes.

Re: The Yoshi carb
Personal preference, I’d take the Mikuni carbies. Much better at fuel atomisation and why you find up to 10Nm more in midrange than FCR’s and well worth the loss of 1-2 hp up top.
