Lectron vs. PWK.
got myself a 2012 ec250e that i love to death. Owned it for almost 2 years. It has alot of hours on it from previous owner but she still rips.
For the last 2 rides I've changed out my needle to one from a jd jet kit (blue? Maybe red?) And it feels more responsive. The jetting on my bike is about there but not exactly perfect. I get a bit of spooge out of my exhaust (less after new needle.) And im 1/8th turn out on air/fuel screw. 160 main. 2nd pos. 40 pilot ride at 500-2500ft elevation CURENTLY. High hopes of some future high desert riding... So now it's got me thinking. Do i spend a couple bucks and get a couple jets and get this thing running solid. Or shall I just bite the bullet and get a lectron. I hope I can get some feedback from those who have lectrons or other alternatives to the standard carb. I guess I just really like the "set it, and forget it" aspect of the lectron vs pwk. It would be nice to load up and drive to somewhere with 3500-5000+ ft elevation and not worry too much. |
I have the SmartCarb.
No fooling with jetting is awesome. |

I have the lectron on my 18 XC300 and love it. The set it amd forget it is nice although I still like trying different things. Like recently I went to a different metering rod and love it. I live at 200ft above sea level and have had it over 6k ft and it runs great. Super responsive and instant torque.

I like the set and forget it nature of the Lectron but I know I give up some throttle response and a little power because of it. 2011 EC250R

You saying it is almost electric demonstrates my point on throttle response. A properly tuned PWK is instant snap whereas the Lectron is softer. You can argue about which throttle response type is better but there is no argument on which gives actual better throttle response. |
Do not rule out the STIC metering block for your Keihin as an option as well.
I installed the STIC on my 2018 Gas Gas 250 a couple of weeks ago and just got the jetting dialed yesterday. I was a little skeptical at the beginning, but after getting the jetting correct I am very impressed. I rode the bike yesterday with temperatures from mid 70's to mid 90's and elevations from 4000' to 7,500'. Bike ran cleanly all day. I will write a more thorough review when I have a chance. |
