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

I disagree with that, my throttle response is almost electric and don't feel I gave up any power, it is more linear for the most part but doesn't feel any weaker at all. I honestly think it depends on how you have it adjusted. It is a set it and forget it carb but you still have to set it and their stock settings don't always work the best for some people.

Even if I get kicked now I can tell you "set and forget" is a myth and only works if you can forget that your Lectron is not set perfectly. I have installed and set up a few so I know what I am talking about. The Lectron remains unimpressed for big altitude changes but a Keihin is only a tad worse. If money plays no role get a Lectron and forget everything you have ever learned about carbs when setting it up. |

I think Im gonna try a few different jets and needles first just to see how it does. My bike does have alot of hours on it from previous owner and me. Luckily a lectron/smart carb fits other 2 smoker bikes with 38mm carb right?? |

Yes, a Lectron is not bike specific, it will fit more than only one brand.
Hope you also ordered a 42 pilot jet. |
