Re: Best mod to a stock 04 NSR50R?

A question for Fireman. I had a 24mm flat slide carb on my first NSR when I got it and it worked awsome. It had the stock cylinder ported and the big six petal reed cage installed with the full Arrow exhaust. Do you think that a bigger carb is still a waste even if you open up the reed cage? I don't think anybody mentioned brakes. A braided line is a must.
Well, my statement was for a stock cylinder, some port work done to it, running the stock reed cage with CF reeds and the WRW exhaust. The 24mm carb worked.. but the lap times were the same as running a stock carb. It wasn't till after the big bore kit was installed and the lap times went down a lot! I think your setup would require one because you are bringing in more fuel and you would need that extra air.

When I had the two stroke motor in my NSR, I thought about getting that bigger reed cage... how did you like it, did it improve throttle response, top end or low end power? Seems like a sweet mod for sure!
