Once you figure out how to jet, it's great. GJCARVING and I did 200 miles of mountains and twisties yesterday, and my 2004 averaged a little over 46 MPG, and that's running at 7000 ft elevation, mostly around 3000 RPM and with a 31T front pulley... I'm a little partial to carbs. It's nice to know I can adjust roadside, if necessary, with a little screwdriver instead of a laptop. And if my fuel pump dies and leaves me stranded in a vacant parking lot at 11 PM in Espanola, NM, I can just bypass the fuel pump and ride home...not that that ever happened to me, of course...

RK good points RK .....besides you can not get someone in this day and time to let you in to use a phone if you breakdown much less borrow their laptop for a few minutes but I would love to have a 2nd Roadie with an EFI to play with I remember going from a slide rule to the pocket calculator was traumatic for some in the beginning hmmmm and a computer might have fit on a SEMI trailer ...sorry..... rambling on here ...Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #183299 RangerDan (User) racin the wind, chasin the sun Expert Boarder Posts: 461 Re:Okay, which one?? 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Funny, I've been thinking a second Roadie that was carbed would be fun.. It could be my bomb around town with apes and no baggage bike. I do like the EFI though.. no choke, no petcock, key on, whirrrrrrr, crank and fire. And with my new pipes on there, somehow, this bike is amazing me with how Harley-esque it sounds, esp. at idle. It sounds better than I ever thought it could.

What I meant by "Small" drawbacks, I was really referring to it being hard to get some aftermarket parts like exhausts, there are less options with intakes, you can't get rid of your fuel pump, you have less gas capacity, meaning less total miles per tank... those sort of "Small" drawbacks. Not cutting it down, the upsides were mentioned too! Boy, some people are so sensitive I wasn't pissed by your post, all I was saying was I haven't noticed any drawbacks other than the cool idle that you can get with a carb. Some people are so sensitive. One person's "small" drawback is another person's "who cares".   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/04/09 15:01 By Road_Hawg.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #183439 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.
