Basically all of these carbs are close to the same, the only real difference is the availability of parts, especially jets. Quality jets. Quality means that all the jets of a certain catalog number all flow the same amount of gas, air, or light. However they choose to measure them....ARH  |
Mikuni clones are less common in China so cost more in China
Keihin is half price to Mikuni local markets.
Mikuni became popular in the USA cause someone said to use it n everyone followed.
Keihin clone is fine too and pumper near same price and easily get jets for it
