Ram air question

[masterdave]

This will sound like a really silly question, but if you run a ram air, and your using carbs, how do you adjust the fuelling to take in to account the extra airflow at speed, do you have it running rich on the dyno or something? because the extra amount of air forced through at 100mph for example will be huge, would this not dangerously lean out the mixture?
or am i missing something

I presume ram-air came back into favour because of fuel injection systems (sensors & 'puters) able to adjust fuelling /mixture on-the-fly.

Various articles on ram-air:

I may be wrong but I think you would need some FCR Carbs to make Ram Air work as IIRC they have an accelerator pump built into them.

have a chat with yeti, he's got ram air on his race bike(not to mention carbon fibre airboxes ), but as carl says i think his bike will have flatside carbs....

There is some info from yeti here
