Factory Pro manufactures stock replacement needle jets / emulsion
tubes) to better than original factory specs. The needle jet orifice
will wear
oblong in as little as 10,000 miles and is particularly aggravated by
"in town", low rpm operation. The result is excessive richness at low
rpm that can only be partially compensated for by lowering the fuel level. This the THE famous nickel plated Factory Pro replacement.
Hi Marc,
Not sure if customers ever give you updates on
purchased items. I got your Ti carb kit and plated
emulsion tubes a few years back and it made a big
difference. After swapping out the old worn needles
and tubes, the carbs are as reliable as an EFI
system.
I've put 15000 miles on it since and float height
adjustments is about the only thing I've done. You
have any guesses for when the plated tubes with a Ti
needle will need to be replaced?
Good product, no regrets.
Regards,
-Robin Swanson

Want your 30,000km bike to shift better than it did when it was new? Put your gearbox on a diet.? No - you can't loose unsightly gear weight, but you CAN snappen up the somewhat lazy TDM gearbox with the new Pro Shift Kit. Look at it this way - your foot "initiates the shift" and the shift mechanism completes the shift. The Pro Shift kit improves the shift mechanism's function and takes away the clunk between the gears when riding and virtually eliminates missed shifts. It's even easier to move the lever and the minimum amount of lever travel required to make a shift is decreased. Installation requires clutch basket removal - no case splitting required. Perfect to do when replacing clutch plates. Suggested that an air or electric impact wrench be used (for the large clutch basket nut) This kit does not include a TDM clutch cover gasket You will need to supply your own. The instructions are for an fzr1000, which has the same shift mechanism as the TDM / TRX / XTZ. Makes shifting MUCH quicker and virtually eliminate missed shifts. This
is exactly the same spring kit that USA's Yamaha Racing used
"back in the day" in the 750.

 TL-float height gauge $59.95 |
The best tool to accurately
measure float heights. Works on nearly every carburetor. Required to set the 38mm Mikuni carb sets. |
Info about the"
"Slide Step / Notch / Ledge"
The 1/3 width step, built into the slide, where the
needle sits, is designed to lessen the "rattling" that the needle does in the needle
jet (you, know.... the hole that eventually wears out in every carburetor
with a slide and causes the bike to run rich over time).
It tries to keep the needle leaning up against one side of the hole , instead of
letting it rattle and beat both sides of the orifice oval.....
That step is in most Yamaha Mikuni carbs for the last decade or two -
The needle jet still wears, but at a slightly slower rate.
Factory Pro makes a tougher than stock, nickel plated stock type replacement needle
jet (commonly called an "emulsion tube"). It's easy to replace and if you can do
a "jet kit", you can replace the "tubes".
See above to buy a new set!
Fuel level, importance of..
Emulsion tubes / needle jets, Mikuni, worn, cause of low rpm richness.

Hi Marc, I recently bought the CRB-Y85-1.1-TNJ carbie
kit off you for my Yamaha TRX850. After putting a lot of
time into getting the correct float heights and also
needle clip position the bike is going the best it ever
has since I bought it ( had to pull the carbies off
three times! ). The black sludge that was in the
mufflers has gone and is now running clean.Went for a
ride up into the mountains on Sunday,great ride with
plenty of power over the whole rev range.
Thanks, Dennis Tasmania Australia

| Float Height Setting Trick for 38mm "Mik's" | |
| One of the problems with setting
the float height on the 38mm downdraft Mikuni's that come on Ducati's,
yzf 750's, tdm 850's and fzr1000's, is that the golldern white plastic
"float cage" keeps popping out of the carb body unless you hold it in. When you hold it in with your fingers, you always flex the cage frame and distort the reading that you are setting the float height at..... Aaarrggghhh!! :-) After spending 45 minutes setting some yzf750 carbs in the sweltering Mid Ohio heat of summer (there's a funny egocentric dynojet story to tell, here, btw), I decided to make a float cage holder and sell 'em! I'd make a million $$!! |
 |
| When I got back to work, I
set up and made a pile of cute little flat braces. As I was sitting there, admiring my cleverness...... one of my parts guys wandered by and asked what was I making? I showed him that you could just take my clever little piece of aluminum and hold those float cages right tightly up into their seated position - so you could get consistent float height readings. |
 |
| He says..... It looks like you could just put the float bowl on with the front holes on the bowl lined up with the rear holes on the carb body and slap some screws in and it would do the same thing........... |
 |
| I bought him lunch with the
million $$ I didn't make....

Hello. Here’s the pics you asked for! Thanks for the help, the bike runs BEAUTIFULLY now, lots more power! The front end now comes up on the throttle – whereas it didn’t before! There’s another pic in there too where I used a bar code to measure the bowls. I found this a lot easier than using a ruler. I measured the bar next to the number “8†on my barcode to be the recommended height on my bike – 14mm. -Mike Beary
Thanks Mike, for the pics! |

The extension of the laboratory
for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed
in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940).
He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after
the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar
to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal
use but well preserved. Edited to the tunes of Chemical Residue by Herbie Hancock. |
