Factory Pro Carburetor / Fuel Injection Tuning Tech
CV Carb Tuning
Factory Pro method for tuning CV carbs - As in most stock CV motorcycle carburetors. This is the motorcycle world's primary source for proper CV carb tuning procedures. AMA Proven Tuning for the "average" guy, too! Written by Marc Salvisberg using 40+ years worth of tuning experience.

Coolant temp, optimum Lower coolant temperatures are better? Not in stock 4 stroke engines, not in TZ250's / RS250's / Aprilia 250's either - the "FTP Point" We figured it out - we can name it, too!
Coolant temp, High altitude mod What to do at high altitude when coolant temp IS going to be 220f - 230f and all your coolant is blowing out......
Creep Rate, controlled slippage is "creepage", and "uncontrolled creepage" is slippage.
