Post by Stankflapper » Sun Aug 28, 2011 10:39 pm

Your thoughts on carbies verses injection and why not spend the bucks injecting rather than carb upgrade?

There was a small feature on a GSXR1000 fitted with FCR41s in PB a few years ago, and the bike made more power with carbs than it did with injection but they needed to reprofile the cams to suit using carbs. I think for the money, time and effort taken, especially on an already carbed bike, FCRs are a no-brainer. There's less to go wrong too.

edit- and no injection system sounds as good as FCRs do :D

Have a look on the KTM forums and see how hard it is to set up FI correctly
