    Andy, I would also be interested to know. Not really bothered about improving performance, but what would be a simple bolt off / bolt on replacement? I dont think theres anything wrong with mine that a good set up wouldn't cure, I'm just trying to get it running well enough to ride it to the local dyno shop (BSD). Do the racing guys use different carbs or are they restricted by regulations?

    Despite my research over many years there are no easy options, It can be done but if you take a look at my track bike project thread you'll see it's not easy Rolling Eyes
    As I understand the racing guys are limited to a couple of jet sizes up or down from the standard size.
    Regulations are pretty strict, but that's to keep the costs down and the racing close.
