RB carb and low end torque
I an considering doing an RB carb with the head. I seem to read many people like it but I also read the head does more and is more noticable.
I guess if there is an increase in low end performance then I would do it. Can anyone comment on the low speed lggging performance, grinding up a hill for example. Is there a noticable difference with the carb in that situation or should I just stick with the head.
I am sure there is more top end but I rarely get there so I am more concerned about low end performance. I think I need a KTM300 LOL.
Thanks.

Second Sweet Spot.
Some pipe dream of Carvr's. Humor him and do a search on it. Pretend you found the spot and that you like it. Otherwise, he'll get a rant going....
He thinks that there is a second setting on the air screw that provides a better low to mid rpm performance with the KDX motor on bikes with an RB'd carb.

'I can only comment on what happens when you install BOTH the head mod AND the carb mod since I did both simultaneously, but the combination is VERY impressive in terms of a generous, definately-feel-it-in-the-pants increase in power across the RPM range. I can remember what the rev pipe did when I installed it and the difference with the mods is of that magnitude.
My bike is a few steps beyond that with some recent changes; race gas head, timing changes, power valve changes have resulted in more aggressive power delivery and more power from mid-range to upper revs. But the biggest power change was the initial RB mods.
Oh yeah . . . I stumbled onto that pipe dream as well
