On the Baghira, there isn't room for the carb, so I had to cut a frame member and mount the carb around 6" back from the head where the air box used to be. It works and jetting is now simple and available. Niether were true with the stock carbs. If you search on my posts, you will see how I did it, and it won't take that long to find them. It looks like it would be quite a bit simpler on a Scorpion.


Harold,

OMC,

Now that is what I call, highly modified, from one end to the other. By the way, if you want to see some negative ads right now, just come to Florida. Every other commercial on TV.

Could someone confirm for me please the jets needed for the Mikuni TM34-B65 carb if fitted to the Skorpion. It's listed here

http://www.kedo.com/products/30230.html

as suitable for the SR500,XT500 and SRX600. Surely the jetting for the XTZ660 needs to be changed. Kedo suggested I contact Mikuni-topham.de which I did, but have had no reply so far.
Can someone help? Thanks.

David.

I think these are set up for the Skorpion already, specifically a stock to mildly tuned one. They also sell a pair set up for heavily modded 660's.
