Does anyone use this upgrade?

[nxt_f1_driver]

hey guys, i was just browsing on ebay and i came accross this boost carburettor upgrade kit. I was wondering if any of yous guys run this modification and if it really works.

heres the link (read the info underneath about it)
eBay Australia: Pocket bike BOOST BOTTLE CARBURETOR KIT CARB upgrade (item 230121961399, end time 05-May-07 12:02:52 AEST)

some use them and yes they are supposed to work
but as to what gains you get i couldnt say better throttle response ? im sure there is a dyno sheet or somthing from a jap bike they used to use a boost type canister on older jap bikes & some other engines

the ADA juice box is similer & closer to what i have seen on old jap bikes

most of the r1's down in adelaide run them and they increase throttle response i was gonna put 1 on my cag but cant be bothered spending the money

[barnsey]

with the bottols from the info i gathered it sucks the burnt fuel up into the bottle when it is full can u empty them and i may buy 1 they soun like they are good

[SAMMY]

if your gonna get 1 off ebay get it off billetracecraft i know the guy personally and he is a good bloke who knows his stuff

Just wondering why Euro bikes don't run them if they work, I don't want to come across as though I am having a go at anyone, I just like to broaden my knowledge if anyone has the answer. Is it because the reed set up is different?

They work best on r1's, because they are piston port engines. There is a big argument about wether they work on reedvalve engines or not.
