Cansomeone help me out, with fuel injection.
I have a 2000 RK, and want to put a new air box on it. I am being asked if it has a Delphi Fuel Injection system, which I beleive the answer is no.
Can you tell me what came stock on the 2000 RK, and how that differs from Delphi. Also what does a closed loop system mean.
Don't know much about it, but looking to learn.
Thanks

You have the stock MM EFI system. Closed loop or auto-tuning systems, incorporate wide band O2 sensors with an EFI controller...Thundermax...Daytona Twin-Tec.
As BH said, you have the Magnetti-Marelli FI system which was used on RK's through the '01 model year. It is open-loop, as were the Delphi's until recently, meaning that it does not monitor the content of its exhaust gasses and make adjustments accordingly. It's a relatively simple system that works fine unless you decide you just have to make more than 100 hp. The shop manual is always a good place to start in learning about your bike.
