I'd like that on my 13 250sx, it's kind of a light switch, so I'm probably going to try one.
He has a 38 airstriker, is that too big? If he HAS to have his hit, I like the 36pwks idea, I just got told he broke the choke or it was broken I don't know. He's 18 questions in general aren't his bag.
Also, what's this "smart carb" mentioned earlier, I'm open to just about anything at this point.
And finally, can 15tc250- Barnett - whomever, chime in on the Lectron, just wondering. Is Barnett the dude from like 2015 that was supposedly a genius? I remember some guy with a degree in this and that got into epic battle's with other vital members who if I remember right, we're pretty damn smart. Those were awesome threads. I'm actually learning a lot in this thread, both about my kids CR and a bunch of shit I never even thought about, you guys know your fuel/air/temp shit big time!
As far as Barnett, no,he was a fairly recent jump-on in the past year and knew EVERYTHING about EVERY subject and would belittle any and all that would debate his superiority. He was laughable at best , and delusionally insane at worst,lol. As far as him being a "genius".... he was ,but only in a tight 5' circle around himself.

But thanks for the vote of confidence
Some like the legacy Lectron better than the HV, a all said and done, carbs need tinkering oftentimes, at least to get to that sweet spot. It is rare to bolt on and go.
I have a 38 Lectron on my ‘18 KTM SX150 and it runs like a rapped ape ! I didn’t request a 38, that’s what Kevin recommended for my bike. He builds the carbs, I’m guessing that he has a little more knowledge than you, but please carry on with your posts, it’s entertaining to say the least....

I have a 2005 KX 250 and in the 9 years I've owned it I could never get the pilot jet sorted. The jet size I need doesn't even exist. Worked well on Main Jet, Pilot Screw, Needle and Clip position even if you were off by one or two settings. I ride woods frequently so that was SUPER important for 0-1/4 throttle performance.
My buddies 18 250SX is a diva with jetting and he changes it all the damn time. His 2012 wasn't. He would run the same jetting for most of the year.
The bike's had a lot of changes since first getting it. Came with Gnarly/Spark Arrestor combo and a needle that went to another bike (still don't know which) that was waaaay to thin and tapered compared to stock. Now it has PC Platinum, 304 and RAD Valve. It ran best with the FMF setup but I hated the characteristics. After everything I did to it, it just liked to be ridden above 1/4 throttle.
For the record, the bike runs great. Not even noticeable at a track. I'm just splitting hairs and it was only ever noticeable in the tight stuff.
From what I've read, it seems the Lectron helps with low end bog and will provide a smooth delivery but less on top....while the 38mm airstryker will have bog down low and hit harder on the top?
I raced it Sunday at Perris, California. I checked the plug and it was lean (tad dry, light tan) after my first moto. I richened the Lectron up 1/4 of a turn with my fingers, no tool needed. I raced my second moto and checked the plug. Again it was lean, just not as bad. I plan to call Lectron (or read the technical paper) to know how to get the plug wet.
I am open minded to all the comments above, especially those way more knowledgeable than me, but I am not yet giving up on the Lectron, mainly because it has been really good to me so far.
