know some quick tt xt sr 500's and in sidecars  all use VM36 IWT Ian Williams will do you a treat on a new one.
big bore kit say 560cc use VM38 round slide
ask for carby to suit and start rich, these guys have all the poop, may I suggest the SUDCO 5th editon Mikuni tuneing manual its great value about $25 + post has everything in there (bible)  ;)

I wonder how the 510 would perform with a Keihin FCR39? Flat slide pumper designed for fourstrokes.

ask Nathan, if you want the best carby combo, if its for personal pleasure and not for raceing that makes for alot more choice

I bet it would run great. I have a friend that installed a FCR 37 on his tweaked DR500. I wouldn't believe it if he didn't do it, but he can out start 490s and 480s on a bike that started life as a big fat trail bike
