CBX-LALALA HONDA Mortorcycle CBX1000 FCR Carburetor

The throttle opening and throttle valve opening of the FCR carburetor are not directly proportional....

Even when the throttle is opened to 1/2 on an FCR, the throttle valve on the FCR does not open to 1/2. This is not specifically mentioned in the FCR tuning manual. Knowing this might change your perspective on the operation of the FCR throttle. At 1/2 throttle opening, the throttle valve is typically open only about 1/4.

With the quick turn throttle housing, you can set the throttle free play to 0mm!...

When installing a quick turn throttle, one feature that is not present in a standard throttle housing is the throttle stop screw function. Although it might sound elaborate, it is simply a screw hole that has been cut. It is a bolt used to adjust the minimum return position of the throttle.

FCR Tuning - Testing 6 Variations of Accelerator Pump Diaphragm - 2023-08-22...

One of the highlights of FCR carburetors is the accelerator pump. This time, instead of making just minor adjustments, I performed tuning with all the diaphragms I have on the same day. The accelerator pump diaphragms tested were Standard, KLX250, and KLX400, with discharge timings of 1.0mm and 0.5mm, resulting in a total of 6 different patterns.

The position of the air screw has been adjusted to slightly less than 0.30 minutjes return. The pilot jet has been changed from 45 to 48. This air screw setting in summer may not be ideal for winter, as it would likely need to be adjusted (tightened) during colder months.

FCR Tuning - Re-synchronization after adjusting the throttle cable - 2023-08-01...

I synchronize the FCR carburetors on my CBX1000 more than 10 times a year. Whether 10 times is a lot or not, I’m not sure. It’s not that I feel the synchronization has drifted while riding and then correct it. Rather, it’s because minor misalignments occur when I perform tuning and have to remove and reattach parts.
