That Honda CM400 ran like crap most of the time, the slides had a chamber instead of a diaphragm, no parts or jets available, I had to field engineer a solution that was a shim under the Needle to richen up the midrange. Common mod on DR650's with the o/e carb, shim it with a small washer , runs much better. I've replaced the BST with a TM40 on mine now, runs like a peach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Nice think with carburated thumpers or twins is that when they are set up and valves put to spec and carbs synchronized you can really tell the difference and it seems everything in the world is right! That's how it felt in my Hondas and BMWs, don't know about KLRs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
