Default RE: High altitude carb setup

ORIGINAL: Nobrakes

Here's a tangential question, not to divert the topic too far, but something I've wondered a little about. The latest talk with dirt bikes and such is leaning toward fuel injection - probaly with the first ones showing up in 2008 maybe. With FI, are there typically sensors to sense the fuel mixture and self compensate for optimal ratio all the time? I take it since there is no carb, that there would be none of this jetting and mixture screws to worry about.
Actually Brian fuel injected off road bikes are already available, the Aprilla SXV 5.5 and 4.5 are injected http://www.aprilia.com.au/models.html
and the Gas Gas 450 also is injected http://www.gasgasaustralia.com.au/bi...play_06_FSE450
no doubt there are others

When you add pipes (good ones anyway) you have to recalibrate the ECU.


So which would be better or easier and cheaper to mod. The engine with the carb or the EFI?

Depends on the bike
4 cylinder carbie bike = 4 carbs to mod, adjust or replace
4 cylinder injected bike = 1 ecu to update or replace
1 cylinder bike lets say the KLX, you can mod the CVK34 cheap with Dynojet kit or replace the carbie, fuel injected ecu? dunno how much to replace or mod.
