Default Carb Question Time!

Ok local Indy shop said I could gain performance from a new carb which got me thinking...

What size/kind of carb is on my bike now?

What would I look at getting?

What us to be gained (realistically) from a different carb?

Your Indy is just looking to drum up some business IMO.
There is nothing wrong with the stock CV carb when properly tuned and it's plenty big enough to handle a modified Sporty EVO up to about 90hp.
