Riding my 71 R75/5 in high altitude???
- Thread starter 10drum
- Start date
The CV carbs on the R75/5 tend to have some self compensation built into the design. Unless you're going to transfer and stay at the high altitude for weeks and months, I wouldn't make any changes. You might feel somewhat less pep if you're really trying to hammer the engine.

I had an airhead for many years and regularly rode it at high altitudes, with no carb mods. Here it is (in the background) on the Beartooth Plateau, at 10,000 feet, with apologies for the poor picture quality:
The vacuum carbs work fine at high altitudes.
