Fuel Injection

[elcamino12sec]

Will we see fuel injection on the 2009 bikes?
Just wondering what most people think or have heard from good sources.

It's here now with the 2008 DualSport model intros from Yamaha and Husky : http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelfeatures/595/0/features.aspx

Wow!

I'm sure there are plenty more to come. The new Euro3 standards will drive this for dualsports.

Bummer, bikes are only going to get more expensive. If fuel injection can wake up a dual sport engine like it woke up the 600cc street bike motors, I'd be for the extra price, but I just don't see it happening on a dual sport.

EFI bikes aren't really that much more expensive. The new RMZ450 is EFI'ed and is only $400ish more (I think?). GasGas and Sherco have already been making their bikes fuel injected for a few years now. A buddy of mine races a Sherco 5.1 and it's incredible. I'm totally down for paying abit more for an injected bike. I tend to jet alot because I live at 7'ft and temperature changes alot up here. Then quite often I drive down to the valley and ride at 3k'. If someone doesn't put out a EFI'ed 2-stroke I'm going to build my own. How sweet would that be!?

The off-road only 2007 Yamaha WR250F retails for $6399

the EFI equipped 2008 WR250R dualsport retails for $5899.

Wonder if a guy could put that on a yz250f ?

 

[thebleakness]

ThumperTalk sponsors a guy riding an EFI YZ250F. I don't know where they got it but they've had some good experiences with it.

Ok, so maybe $500 extra.

Just a carb is over 580!
