Most likely the same since they are the same motors.

I'm not so sure that FI is going to be a good thing, in fact I'm pretty sure it's not. The major manufacturers just can't seem to get it right. Even the new R1 has problems, and how many years have they had to work on that? Aprillias need expensive aftermarket upgrades to get rid of MOST of the glitches, unnaceptable for an expensive race oriented bike. The people I've talked to that actually PAID for the bikes tend to get defensive about their expensive purchase, saying that "...you just ride around the stumbles." The people that I know who''ve NOT paid for a bike, but have ridden them or tried to race them, well... it's pretty much a deal killer. Just the FI issues alone.


I hope I'm wrong, nothing would be better for all of us if all of the promises were true. I'm still a skeptic, and will try not to rub everyones face in it if I'm right. It WILL be hard though! Hopefully I will just be satified to go sailing by coming out of some corner with my "old school" carberated bike, as the new ones cough and sputter at the worst possible moment. BTW, be sure to drag this post out and rub MY face in it if I'm wrong, I will happilly eat my words!

after todays rejet and filter change out. Plus I ground out the intake to help air flow, I would be against the FI thing. My duke with FI is nice but kinda different to get used to the throttle and I dont know about messing with the ECU and changing parameters? will see.:ride

I'm not interested in riding a bike that stumbles. I had enough of that w/ my TLS. :(

The throttle is nice and smooth on my r6 really easy to control

I think plugging in a cable and pressing a couple of buttoms, sure beats taking off that PITA fcr everytime! I had to help my buddy re-jet his husky sm610 and what a PITA that was.

Sure it might be easier to perform a change on a FI bike, but if it never works right then why bother? Plus, once the FCR is right, it's done. Many bikes you can just loosen the clamps, spin the carb sideways a little, and change the jets through the bottom of the float bowl hole. You might have been making it harder than nessasary.

I've loved my FI bikes. GSX-R, SV, various BMWs (the parent company of Husky, now), R6 - even my Moto Guzzi had flawless FI.

I've had plenty of carbed bikes, and still have some. Ass. Pain. In.
