[QUOTE="BRush, post: 566973, member: 18729"] Michelle, I disagree with the response about the 33mm carb. The answer makes it seem that every 220 owner should run out and swap their carb. The smaller carb is there for a reason on the 220 and that's to make it a low-end torque monster (at least in comparison to the 200). The tradeoff is peak HP and top end performance. The FAQ answer should touch on the tradeoff issue: If you run out and put a larger carb on, yes your bike is going to rev out more, but you may also see some low end disappear. The 35mm KDX 200 carb is only "better" if the tradeoff is worth it to you. There are offsetting things you can do: For example an FMF pipe, airbox mods, and aftermarket reed valves may boost the overall power enough that the percentage of power shifted away from the low end is somewhat masked because the overall power has been increased. The mod that comes closest to "something for nothing" is the RB Carb mod, since the divider plate acts as kind of a bi-focal lens for airflow, mimicking a smaller diameter carb at 0 to 1/2 throttle for better low end response, yet opening wide for more airflow at full throttle.
