Default Carborated to EFI
Was wondering if you can go from a carb to EFI
What the differences are and what it would cost.

Sure, it can be done...but for what? A correctly tuned carb bike will get 'er done

If you just want fuel injected "experiences" then trading bikes might be the most reasonable alternative. No kidding

For starters, ECM, intake manifold, throttle body, engine electrical (to fire the injectors and run the pump), new fuel pump assembly, new tank, injectors, fuel line, and labor. Cheaper to trade up.
