Didn't all '86 250R's get the flat slide carb? I thought that was one of the differences between the 85 and 86.

I don't know much about 250R`s so I was hoping someone would enlighten me if it was stock offering or a factory upgrade

to some guys sport trike= "racing" moniker before everything

"RARE OEM HONDA RACING" sounded like a slight exaggeration so that's why I asked


EDIT: a quick search says yes, that yr got a flatslide carb

the ad is mostly hype I guess

Yes the 86 came with a flat slide from the factory but not the one in that auction . It looks like a Mikuni carb, and not a Keihin. I suppose it could have been an add on, but I highly doubt it is a factory race carb.

Based on the ad description the seller is just trying to get in as many keywords rather than verify its authentic.

Yep thats a mikuni carb ....not factory some guys like them better than the keihins but performance is pretty much the same

I have a Mikuni 34 mill flatslide on my 81 250r it looks alot like that one. Mine is what came oem on the 89 Quadracer.
