I can tell you that on Bikebandit a new one is $304.00, I think I would be figuring out what was wrong with my bike (or buy a used carb) before I went shelling out that kind of money on a carb, but that is just my opinion.

Not worth the money IMHO.It will cost you nothing to shim the needle jet,or adjust idle jet.A bigger main jet is worth 2 dollars at most.But the kit is still much cheaper than a new carb.To each his own. :rawk:

Think about it like this Swistech, even if you get the maximum of 10% horsepower gain that they claim on that kit (keep in mind that the maximum requires you to mod your exhaust/air intake, so you are talking about even more money and wrench time), with all that, that HUGE 10% gain that you are getting, only ends up being about 1.5 to 2 horsepower, and that is if you get the maximum gain possible that they claim.

So you tell us, is it worth it?
