Hi,
Have you idea if it is possible to use a '97 carburator kit for a '92 RD04?
Regards,
Rui

OK, here is my report.
On my RD07 ('94) I had the same problems. I inserted the time relais
solution, but it did not change anything. I thought first, that this
worked, but later I discovered that I still had starting problems.
After a friend of mine bought a new @ ('97) which had not these problems
and which consumed far less fuel than mine, I decided to change the
carburetor "de-air setup" (Entlueftungs-Schlaeuche) to the new style at the
next regular service.
So I did a few weeks ago. The result is amazing. The @ uses about 1l fuel
less on 100 km, I changed the "-trip-staring point", which indicates the
mileage for a full tank from 270 km to 350 km. And I got rid of all
starting problems. After a week of not using the bike it starts as if it
were used yesterday.
The change costs about 150,-DM, if your dealer does it for you. As there is
a significant change to the carburetor setup, I preferred to let my dealer
do this job.
Conclusion:
Do the change and feel happy. And don't mess around with time relais and
such things.
take care - Marcello. (N 51ø11'47,8" E 06ø20'48,9")
