RE: EFI vs. CARB (Stats/Final Word)
ORIGINAL: bdavis ...I would still rather have the EFI for its ease of starting, no choke, etc... than the carbed model even if it has a little less HP and gets a few less miles to the gallon. For me, the trade off is worth it... As I said in another thread, that's the whole main reason behind EFI in the first place. It's idiot proof when it comes to starting a vehicle. |
RE: EFI vs. CARB (Stats/Final Word)
Hmm. Whatever!

RE: EFI vs. CARB (Stats/Final Word)
ORIGINAL: bdavis Are you guys really that worried about gas mileage on your bike? Also, I would still rather have the EFI for its ease of starting, no choke, etc... than the carbed model even if it has a little less HP and gets a few less miles to the gallon. For me, the trade off is worth it. And I have a 1972 XLH with an S & S carb on it and know the pain in the butt that can be. |

If my 1200c only gets 56 or so horses. then my 883 only got equal to a briggs and stratton lawnmower engine. I don't agree with those numbers at all. I gotta be pushing at least 65 plus.

ORIGINAL: Zeb I just have a feeling that you run with a rich crowd and can afford such a thing all the time these days. 'Nothing wrong with that, if you can afford it. The 'crowd' I 'run with' has been called a lot of things, and accused of a lot of things, but I don't believe any of them have been known as the "Rich Crowd".... I'll have to tell some of the guys about their new assumed status, as I'm sure it would be good for a laugh or ten. ;) BTW, I don't own a cell phone, never have, just don't have a use for them... |
RE: EFI vs. CARB (Stats/Final Word)
Yeah. I could see that bro. I'm not rich, just love my man toys.

RE: EFI vs. CARB (Stats/Final Word)
I'm gonna dyno my 1200. It has much more power than my 883. My 883 couldn't get the front wheel up in the air if I used a tow truck. It was running just fine. My 1200 has the drags and home made BCT baffles. I can easily pull the front wheel off the ground.

RE: EFI vs. CARB (Stats/Final Word)
We will all be interested in your results. I still believe taking the cob outa the pigs a$$ only makes the farts louder. If you don't get the apple outa it's mouth the sucker will die from lack of air. Ya won't get a good fart out if ya can't get the beans in. :D:D

Interesting numbers. I really think the reason HD went to EFI on all bikes in 07 had to do more with emissoins requirements more than fuel mileage requirements.
