I'm looking for a carb intake and found a hsr42 with matching intake for $250. Is it a good deal or built up the stock CV

 

mikuni all day!!

 

The CV according to everything I have studied will support at least a 100 HP.
I believe it, as I have to be there.
They say the HSR is better off the line..I have tried one and will say that the CV is just as good modded a little.
For me, the CV so far has been a better carb as I seriously cover some distance and altitudes.
Now, if you are an actually timed racer with reaction times and all, perhaps you might find HSR slightly faster out of the hole.IDK
For the avg person, not so much.
It is dang hard to bolt on HP

 

A properly tuned CV will perform as good as any.

 

i have to disagree, not that I have anything against the stock CV, overall it is a very good unit. compared to a properly set up and tuned HSR though, the bike with HSR has more potential. Larger hole to flow more air, plenty of tuning circuits to work with. on a stock bike the CV is great, start moving away from stock and the HSR is a much better unit to work with, the key is to know how to properly work with and tune it.

The experts say a CV is an excellent unit.

Thanks guys for the infpinforma. I ended on buying the hsr42. the stock CV carburetor in my area weren't much cheaper. Now it's time to pick out a cam. Any information is greatly appreciated. I'm working on my frist bulid. Finding out it's a lot like being married again lol. Thanks you the help

 

What year and model bike are you working with?

Have 97 Evo engine and a 92 aftermarket w frame

 

from your other post in the mechanical section asking about running a hot cam, it looks like you want a hi-output evo, if that is so you made the right choice choosing to go with the Mikuni.
