Keihin – Japanese Precision for Real Performance
When it comes to carburetor technology, there’s hardly a way around one name: Keihin. The Japanese manufacturer has stood for ultimate precision, innovative technology, and manufacturing quality that you can feel for decades. Keihin isn’t a trend label or a short-lived insider tip. Keihin is an institution – and that’s why you’ll find their products here at Scooter Center.
More Than Just a Carburetor
A good carburetor is the heart of any classic setup. It determines how smoothly your engine runs, how spontaneously it responds to throttle, and how consistently it delivers performance across the entire RPM range. And this is exactly where Keihin demonstrates true engineering excellence. Whether you want to optimize a classic daily driver or build a high-performance project, Keihin provides the perfect foundation.
Why Keihin at Scooter Center?
It’s simple: Because it works. We at Scooter Center have built, tested, and ridden countless setups with Keihin carburetors in everyday use. Whether on country roads, in city traffic, or in ambitious custom builds – Keihin carburetors impress with stable performance, durable construction, and an all-around cohesive package. No fiddling, no compromises – just reliable technology.
Small Parts, Big Impact
Anyone familiar with carburetors knows: It’s not just the big components that make the difference. Especially with a Keihin, fine-tuning is key – and this happens at the jets and the float needle. The main jet determines how rich your engine runs at full throttle, while the pilot jet controls part-throttle behavior. Both directly affect performance, temperature, and throttle response. The emulsion tube (also known as the needle holder) provides additional fine-tuning in the transition range, especially in combination with the slide needle.
The float needle ensures that the fuel level in the float chamber remains constant – a point often underestimated. If it leaks or wears out, the entire fuel mixture goes off. At Scooter Center, you’ll also find all these parts individually, so you can not only install your Keihin carburetor but truly fine-tune it for your engine, your riding style, and your route.
For Discerning Tuners
If you don’t want to leave your engine to chance and value real throttle feedback, Keihin is the way to go. The quality speaks for itself, spare parts supply is ensured, and the tuning community worldwide swears by this name for good reason. At Scooter Center, you’ll find a wide selection of Keihin carburetors, matching jets, and everything you need to perfectly fine-tune your setup.
