Getting back to the question of EFI vs carburettors (notice the correct spelling there.! ), the biggest issue I can see with EFI apart from all the potential sensor failures, is the way it's mapped to run lean for emissions compliance etc. At least with carbs you can easily adjust the idle mixture strength & tickover so it doesn't stall in traffic. By any standards, that's pretty poor in this day & age. I've never needed an electric boot on my bikes as much as I do on my 961...

[QUOTE="Deano, post: 433663, member: 10321"] Getting back to the question of EFI vs carburettors (notice the correct spelling there.! ;)), the biggest issue I can see with EFI apart from all the potential sensor failures, is the way it's mapped to run lean for emissions compliance etc. At least with carbs you can easily adjust the idle mixture strength & tickover so it doesn't stall in traffic. By any standards, that's pretty poor in this day & age. I've never needed an electric boot on my bikes as much as I do on my 961... :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
