NEW PRODUCTS . I STOP YOUR CIRCULATION Pro Circuit has had non-circulating internals on its race bikes for the past two years and has now made it possible for you to convert your own KYB forks to non-circulating internals with the $178 PC Works KYB Fork Kit. According to Pro Circuit, the kit eliminates the notchy feel of production circulating systems and provides smoother overill action. A n~w oil-lock bottoming chamber also is said to provide a smooth, progressive stop, eliminating barsh, metal-to-metal bottoming. The kit must be installed by Pro Circuit and your forks must be revalved - an additional $135 - at the time of insta.llation. For more information, contact Pro Circuit, Dept. CN, 4214 E. La. Pa.lma Ave., Anaheim, CA 92807, 714/993-5400, FAX 714/993-0344. ENERGIZE Boswell Energy Systems has just released its DVI Fuel System that Kyle Lewis, Rich Taylor and Cl~f Plamer have been using with excellent results on the AMA National MX circuit. This patented new technology works unlike anything on the market. The system creates atmospheric positive / negative pressure differentials in the carburetor. Vaporization of fuel is started early in the fuel delivery system, moving directly from liquid to vapor. Coupled with revolutionary techniques of fuel-circuit control, the system is said to produce better-than-fuel-injection results. Another innovation, the Boswell Super Cycler, works in the last few centimeters of the intake tract to capture the energy in the return pulse and redirect it into the next intake pulse, creating a reverse powered velocity booster. The Boswell Fuel System technology can be applied to butterfly, slide, and diaphragm Mikuni carburetors for two-strokes and four-strokes.· A complete kit with manifold, boot, throttle cable and carburetor w / modifications sells for $520 and goes for $450 if you send in your own Mikuni carburetor for modification and accessories.
