Imo, not lately. Stage6 has seem to fallen off lately from what I hear. And naruku is an "affordable" brand. There not exactly high quality race parts, but I don't think there low quality stuff either. But I wouldn't pay a premuim for it.

The intake is just a hunk of aluminum. What ever one you buy will most likely benefit from new reeds and some grinding/clearancing/sanding/porting,etc. I really don't know tho, I've only bought cheap Taiwanese intakes like the ct. Haven't had any problems yet.

CT manifolds waste fuel?

No problem, no I didn't see a note anywhere in my end.

I don't mind buying a polini carb, I don't know which size would suit my bike better, 24 or 28. I have no idea what range Jets to start with. I understand carburetor theory I just don't know where to start with this bike or the best place to acquire the parts.

Why is upgrading the reeds so critical at this stage?

Get a 21mm cp, stage 6 intake and a pg short

That is what i wished I did the first time.

Now if you want to get adventurous and go all out polini corsa and a corsa pipe with a 21mm cp, stage 6 intake, and 9:1 gearing. Wpuld be a soild bike with a good vari and clutch too.

The 50mm bore in my case only seized and had issues to begine with. Wanst very happy with it, but I wont fault the seller some people have great luck with them.

I've heard of and seen it happen to probably 12 people a year. The plastic, metal and reeds go into your engine.
I have a video of mine that SHATTERED. Caught it before it ate it

Greetings:

No question about Graphie's 3/11/17 post; the Polini carbs don't Look a lot different from the OKOs, but they sure do Run better. Totally worth the coin not to have dodgy jetting and spring leaks a year down the road. Quality control is important, Who Knew? The Italians did.

U get what u pay for. Naraku and stage 6 are both way better. There bolt on peice of mind, no modding needed. The c/t is less, but u have to sand and still just hope it seals and ur reeds dont explode ruining ur bore, possibly crank, maybe blow a hole in ur case. Just not worth the risk over $40-$50....

I don't mind paying for the polini carb, where is the best place to get a 24mm Polini carb and intake and Jets?
