Triump Mikuni Carb Kits!

Wake Up Your Triumph: Why a Mikuni Carb Kit from SpeedMotoCo is the Best Upgrade You’ll Make

If you own a vintage Triumph—like a Bonneville, Tiger, or TR6—you already know what it's like to ride a piece of history. But as much as we love the soul of these British twins, the stock Amal carbs can be… let's just say, temperamental. That’s where the Mikuni carburetor upgrade kit comes in.

?️ Why Upgrade to a Mikuni?

Mikuni carbs are known for their reliability, smooth throttle response, and easy tuning. Here’s why riders make the switch:

• Kickstart-friendly: Easier cold starts, especially on kick-only bikes.

• Set-it-and-forget-it: Less fiddling than stock carbs—no constant adjustments.

• Improved fuel atomization: Better throttle response and smoother power delivery.

• Bolt-on kits: Most kits come with proper manifolds, throttle cables, filters, and are jetted for your specific engine.

⚙️ What Comes in our Mikuni Kit for Triumphs?

Most Triumph Mikuni kits include:

• A pre-jetted Mikuni VM or TM carburetor

• Intake manifold adapter (often aluminum)

• Throttle cable (for stock or aftermarket throttle controls)

• High-flow air filter

• Detailed installation instructions

• Lifetime tech support from SpeedMotoCo

Some setups use single-carb conversions for twin-cylinder bikes (especially Bonnevilles) which simplify tuning and can increase low-end torque.

? Which Triumph Models Work Best?

Mikuni kits are popular for:

• Triumph Bonneville 650 / 750 (pre-1983)

• Tiger TR6 / T120 / T140

• Custom café racers, bobbers, and street trackers
