Title: Appears to be a Shortage of Keihin FCR Carburettors Post by: koko64 on March 28, 2022, 04:02:30 PM I have noticed that a number of vendors are out of stock. The price of used units has gone through the roof. I heard an unverified rumour that Keihin were considering ceasing carburettor production.
The used part vendor Mukiedo in Japan has raised its prices accordingly. They have four sets available. I note that Powerbarn and Motowheels are out of stock. Title: Re: Appears to be a Shortage of Keihin FCR Carburettors Post by: koko64 on March 29, 2022, 01:29:48 AM Possible options.
This one is for Elefants. You would have to check fitment. You won't need the filter and it appears to require pods on a Monster/SS. Don't know if it will fit with an airbox. https://elefantadventurebikes.com/cagiva/e750ac/ddl-keihin-fcr-carburetor-upgrade-kit/ From the Japanese used parts shop. https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_ssn=mukeidou&store_cat=13994393016&store_name=MUKEIDOU Title: Re: Appears to be a Shortage of Keihin FCR Carburettors Post by: ungeheuer on March 29, 2022, 07:18:20 AM Mikuni any good to you?

The issue is making the manifold modifications to use side draft carbs on a downdraught intake system. I would use two TM38 carbs on manifold adaptors if I couldn't find FCR or Mikuni pumper carbs that could fit side by side.

Title: Re: Appears to be a Shortage of Keihin FCR Carburettors Post by: koko64 on March 31, 2022, 08:21:35 AM Shipping is expensive...everywhere. I've found the UK and parts of Europe not too bad. Japan's shipping is currently the most expensive I've had to deal with. Title: Re: Appears to be a Shortage of Keihin FCR Carburettors Post by: ducpainter on March 31, 2022, 09:34:51 AM Cost almost $95 US to ship a single box to Norway. Weight about 10 lbs.
Title: Re: Appears to be a Shortage of Keihin FCR Carburettors Post by: koko64 on March 31, 2022, 07:30:33 PM A set of 41's with manifold rubbers and a throttle cost $149 USD to ship from Japan.
I just picked up some 39's and negotiated not buying the metal battery box, manifold rubbers, throttle, cables, pod filters, etc that came with them to knock $50 USD off the shipping and another $300 USD off the total price to just pay for the carbs. |
