Re: KX500 Smart Carb SC2 40mm testing and evaluation.

But that is good as we are not all on the same level mechanically or on our understanding of how bikes work. And most importantly, there...

Re: Smart Carb SC2 40mm testing and evaluation.

Wrote by Oscar Cota to me: I'm so glad you finally got that Smart Carb in your hands! Can't say enough about it. I'm not going to lie, at first I thought it was just a gimmick. I was very hesitant to get one however now I plan to eventually get one for each bike I own. Below I have posted videos of ...
