AWW$HEEET Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Probably a dumb and obvious and dumb question, but on a street bike is there a significant advantage to having EFI versus Carburetor fuel application? For example, if I were looking at 04 R6's (which I believe are carb'ed?), should I just hold out for an 05 model, or is performance, throttle response, tuning, and fuel economy comparable? Thanks, Gabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88lx5oh Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 03 was the first year for FI on the R6 and yes there is alot of benefits throttle response is a ton better no waiting for the bike to get to operating temperature for the carbs to work the way they should dont have to worry about the carbs getting gummed up when you store it you dont have to rejet for mods EFI is easier to tune if you do mod fuel economy is better obviously performance is better, late model bikes always perform better than previous year bikes anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35RFTW Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 EFI > Carb always. Carbs work obviously because they have been used on bikes since the beginning, but furl injection is so much easier when it comes to upkeep. Nothing like being able to start your bike in the middle of winter if there happens to be a nice day. With carb you would be too concerned with trying to keep in winterized.

MackDaddy43 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 why not just get an 08 r6? They fixed a lot of problems in 08 vs the pre 08's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
