I ask this because EFI 'IS' the way to go. Now notice I did not say 'stock' EFI ...

With the modern EFI tuners, you can change virtually everything to match your riding style and modifications to the bike.

The Carb is dead - long live computers...

For every complaint of an EFI bike not running properly, I can dig up a complaint of a carb not idling, flat spots, flooding, loading up and on and on. It doesn't make sense to me.
Yeah, and we can find a fix with a screwdriver, a 2.00 part or a good cleaning.

And all the while, we listen to you EFI guys whining about "running hot", "where can I buy" and "who knows what's wrong with my" ... But we never hear from anyone - "I'm too stupid to work a choke cable"

And I guess that's why NASCAR teams are all screaming for EFI on their cars, Top Fuel guys want it too for more power - yeah right .

"modern EFI" ? so tell us how to adapt that to our "Evo Classics" I'll try anything once -- twice if it hurts bad enough!

nothing personal toward either of you ................
