It's hard to beat the smoothness of a well jetted carburated bike. I miss my old F2, but I do not miss spending afternoons swapping out main jets and playing with needle positions? [:'(]

The FI bikes are easier to tune because everything is done electronically now. I just wish they could smooth out the throttle response.

I hate carburated anything. Fuel Injection is the way to go. Easy to work with and easier to install and maintain. With carbs you get an exhaust you have to rejet. With fuel injection it already automatically adjusts. Runs smoother, starts easier and probably lasts longer than carbs

Injection is easier to work on imho, but no matter how good it gets, it never rides as well as carbs. And they aint efficient, just better on emissions from my experience.

i have a carbie.... and sometimes wish i had an FI.... because i want to get the A/F levels in check .. .but am afraid of takeing apart the carbs...hence iv been putting it off.


but on the side note... i believe the carbs have better fuel efficiency.... or mine atleast does.. compared to my friends f4i...
and i love the carb's sound.... they roaar at around 6k.... its intoxicating.
