Using throttle to control cornering arc?

There are no vacuum operated pistons that rise up due to air pressure like the constant velocity carbs on my old CBR1000. And there are no fuel injectors that have a dozen sensors that let in exactly as much fuel as the computer tells it to.

Is my right hand better than a computer? Hell no. I've bogged the engine many times, opening the throttle too fast or being in the wrong gear. One place I think I'm better than a computer is going into and coming out of a downhill corner. I feel that I can transition between the brake and throttle so smoothly that there is little suspension movement.

Someone else understands!!!!!

I've tried to explain this to people about the KZ, but they don't get it.

It was something I really enjoyed on the 1977 350 4 barrel Pontiac, too.

I also prefer the slides to be a mechanical connection, but you have to have ridden a bike with those type carbs enough to know the difference. Most folks on here haven't.

Your 77 Pauncho had vacuum operated secondaries unless it had an after market mechanical linkage carb on it. Back in prehistoric days, we used to use screws and such to force the secondaries to open with the linkage instead of waiting for the diaphragm to ease them open on carbs that we could rig it on, like a Holley.
