"I've been in the motorcycle industry for 35 years now, and these guys are THE most professional crew I've had the pleasure of dealing with in that time. I made an amateur mistake when ordering online, they called me the next day to make sure it was a mistake instead of simply sending me my order. Can't beat service like that. Fast, fair prices and unmatched knowledge. Many thanks guys!!!"

"SR500 TM36 Carb I finally purchased a TM36-68 Flat slide Pumper Kit for my Yamaha SR500. The engine is bone stock on the first overbore with a stock header and a Conti muffler. I was tired of fiddling with the stock carb and had fitted a TT500 carb. This is a simple carb and the bike ran better with a nice response through the rev range. It was still problematic to start. Despite my best efforts I would sometimes saturate the plug by flooding the bike and I could not rely on getting the bike started from cold even with no throttle and a consistent technique. Having had success with Mikunioz with a Norton Commando I contacted Tom and he recommended a TM36 Flat slide. There are lots of opinions out there and some suggest a 34mm carb will have better torque. Despite this I went with Tom’s recommendation. The carb supplied (with recommended jets) fitted up really well but I was not that happy with the stock airbox so I bought a pod filter. The carb and filter looks really tidy on the bike. I primed the carb and to my amazement it started first kick. Adjusted the idle. The carb ran really well on a slow opening throttle through the rev range except for a slight flat spot at 4000 rpm. I fitted the next sized jet. Now the acceleration was a rush through the rev range except when I cracked the throttle when the engine bogged down. I consulted with Tom and he suggested a few possibilities. One was that the spray nozzle should point straight at the needle. I adjusted this, refitted the pod filter, started the bike first kick and away we went. I am really happy with the performance of the bike. The response is so much better than the stock carb right through to the red line. Occasionally if I am a bit too enthusiastic with the throttle the SR lofts the front wheel. It never came close before. The best part is the starting. Usually from cold first kick. When warm or hot I have not needed more than three kicks. My other SR mates can’t believe how well my otherwise stock bike starts and goes. I could not be happier. David Baker - Melbourne"
