    You may be able to find a Keihin CVK40 off a KLR as a cheap fix. The place with the dyno is the way to go.

    Does it have good heat insulation between the carb and engine?
    Is it vibrating too much and frothing the fuel up too much to carburate cleanly?

    I just read the other threads.
    Xwhatsit is onto it when he notes a simple slide carb being better for big changes than a CV.
    Heaps of people told you to take it to a place with a dyno, this is a damn good idea.
    The dissapointing power is probably because the fuel and ignition are up the wop from the big changes made, a reputable place with a good dyno can fix this, someone with LOTS of experiance and knowledge MAY be able to come close but that will take time and testing to do right. The dyno does all this faster and easier and therefore probably cheaper.
    The idea of it costing heaps may be a put off now but if it is done right you shouldn't have to worry about it any more!

    Grab a BST40 for peanuts from someone who has upgraded their DR650 to a flatslide.

    The DR650 and KTM640A both use it.
