If I can still do my own rebuilds, I have no objection to E/DFI whatsoever. in fact I welcome it. Can't say I'm overly happy about the extra couple kilos of pudge but theres always a fly in the ointment.
As far as EFI vs. Carb goes, whether or not carbs are a more effective method of fuel/air delivery has become irrelevant. The vast majority of motocross riders have decided that EFI is better. If the vast majority wants something, the companies have little choice but to throw it in the ring. The other option is loose alot of customers to the companies offering whatever this thing is. Its why the arse has dropped out of YZ250F sales in the last couple years, same thing happened to the 450SXF up until the 2013 (and 2012 and a half) model. Atleast thats what happened in my area. Reason being is mankind will always seek to make their lives easier. Motor vehicles, computers, washing machines, hair dryers and just about every appliance in the average house all spawned from this rule and the same thing will happen to motorcycles with EFI. Rather than having to plug chop for hours on end you can plug your bike into your laptop and upload a new map. Done.
What a crock of ****...
I dont see any reason why you couldnt still change a piston at home... they've been using high pressure DFI on snowmobiles for years and rebuilds are no more difficult than any other.
My sentiments exactly.The guy supposedly asks people if they want it then tells them how terrible it would be in so many ways. " title="Roll Eyes" class="smiley">
How long did it take Suzuki to get their EFI system for their RMZ accepted to race AMA?...and everyone else for that matter.
The snomos aren't hard to work on at all-in many ways,far easier than a carb set up.
Definitely a big crock of crap.
Twas my first impression aswell.
