it wouldhelp you, but you might as well save up some cash and get a flat slide 38mm....the flat slides have all kinds of modern technology in them now, especially the air strykers, whereas the round slides are old school, and nowhere near as snappy as the flat slides, not to mention ive heard the 36mm pwk carbs out-flow the 38mm round slide mikuni's in a snowmobiling mag somewhere....i went from my 85 R's stock carb to a 38mm PWK airstryker and let me tell you what, it is one of the best mods i have done to my motor.....i wouldnt waste my time putting the round slide on....

I agree, stick with the Keihin's and use the Mikuni for a paperweight.

where could i get my hands on a 38 stryker for my 86 250r atc? and is it still a huge power increase even if every thing else is stock? and if you get a bigger carb do i have to get a bigger airboot or any thing like that
