Some of you may have seen my post in another forum but I wanted to let those of you who haven't in on my experience with the RB Carb Mod.
"Last week I received my carb (93' KDX200) back from RB Designs (Ron) and went riding on Saturday. I've gotta say I just laughed my head off and was grinning from ear to ear. I rode about the first ten miles with the air screw set at the normal position (about 1 turn out) and was impressed with the awesome throttle response off of idle. I rode most of the time in a gear higher than usual. So with all I've read about the Second Sweet Spot (SSS) I just had to find it and try it out. I found it at 2 5/8 turns out. I was just amazed at the motors ability to just pull even down to just above idle. There were many hills that I've climbed in past rides where I would end in first gear screaming the motor and fanning the clutch to get to the top, and with Ron's modifications to the carb, I was able to pull those same hills in 3rd gear ending up at just above idle as I crested the top. I was shocked, amazed and just shaking my head thinking to myself the bike shouldn't even be running at that moment. Awesome just totally Awesome!!!
With a little more riding I found that I could leave the bike in a higher gear and not fuss with shifting as much, and ride a faster pace picking the best/fastest line through the trails, between roots just wide enough for the tires to fit through, around rocks and between trees. I was able to concentrate more on the best line and found myself riding at a much faster pace than I have before.
Ron also mentioned that he modified the Jet block height raising it up 2mm higher to match the 95' and newer carbs. This lets me use the CEX series needles rather than the CGX needles.
Next weekend I'm gonna try the DEK needle at both air screw settings.
I'd like to just say that I recommend this mod to everyone, but really I think anyone who hasn't done it or doesn't plan too is just plain foolish. Until you have this mod you don't know what your missing out on, This is one mod you've got to have!!! In the past I was thinking of moving on to the Orange side, but now keeping my beautiful green complexion seems the right thing to do!!!!!!!!"
