Anyone ever fitted carbs to a 955i ?

[jezz]

Just wondered if anyone has ever tried to fit carbs to a Triumph 955i before.

Anyone any ideas what would fit, and how to go about getting the blighter to run?

Thinking of alternatives to the

1) crappy SAGEM FI on the early 955i's; and

2) expensive later Keihan FI on later 955 and 1050's

PLUS of course carbs look SOOOOOoooooooo good, and I might get a smidge more power!

Come on chaps, someone must have tried it?

I like your style sir.

The engines are very similar to the carbed setup on all the first Hinckley trumpets, so a kit for them should fit.

Go on, FCRs are calling.

Many people seem to prefer the fueling of carbs over fi, citing less electronic rubbish cluttering up a perfectly good motorcycle.

Fixed for you

Have you considered a Tuneboy ? I got one for my Daytona 955 and haven't really delved very deeply yet as have more basic things to sort but the potential is huge. Just a few basic tweeks has massively improved fuelling over a stock Triumph map.

It has the following features:-

Modify the fuel map via a fuel trim table

Modify the ignition map

Change the rev limit

Change the thermo fan settings

Modify air fuel targets used in the ECU

Change the idle speed

Change warm up fuel for cold starting

Diagnose faults

Run ECU test procedures

Modify fuel mapping using a DynoJet tuning link

Change when the ECU uses the O2 sensor for closed loop mode

Data log information

I got mine through a Group Buy on Triumph675.net

Woth investigating maybe? That said, carbs are ace

Hi Hoona,

Yes I have considered the tuneboy, its on my list of purchases if I do go down the injection route.

But as you say.... carbs are ace!
