2006 EC 200 - Keihin id for standard needle

[firffighter]

I would strongly suggest doing the RB carb mod for your 200. I did it on my EC200 and it was worth every penny. You get much better throttle response throughout the entire range, zero blubbering, better fuel economy and easier starting. Ron's been doing these mods forever and if you research you cannot find one dissatisfied customer.

I'd suggest adding his easy turn fuel airscrew to add and your right around $200. Great buy and no more jetting issues.

Heck, add the head mod and you'll be even happier

I did contact RB, but it isn't really practicable to send my carb on a two way trip over the atlantic

I bet if you layout a shipping plan for him, he'd do it. International shipping is easy through our US postal service.

Gonna cost a bit more, but worth it for the results from Ron's work.

And we have a winner !!

Went for a 38mm Lectron and it is excellent. Fitted it, went trail riding and am very pleased. The way it holds a steady throttle better than the Keihin makes riding on surfaced roads a lot more tolerable. It also helps on really slick mud where consistent and very controllable throttle keeps you moving more efficiently than on / off throttle. Also revs out better than the Keihin.
I haven't measured fuel consumption, but it looks to be in the same ball park as the Keihin. Tickover isn't perfect and I might try it 1/4 turn leaner on the metering rod, but overall, the Lectron is a worthwhile investment, making the bike even more enjoyable to ride

That is so good to know. I also have a 200 but mine runs really good. But will keep it in mind for the future. Now is time to enjoy it

You should also post your specs on the 200 club for future references.
