bartonmd Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I do know that the FI bikes have a knock sensor threaded into the block that you'd have to drill and tap for... IMO, you'd be WAAAY better off just trading up to a '99... it'd be less time and a BUNCH less money! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helvet Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Forget about it...... The wiring loom also needs to be rebuilt, plus all the electronics like ECU etc...... A lot cheaper to trade up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Why would you want FI? Those guys are always complaining about this FI light coming on, that FI light coming on. I like my carbs, they work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodeRash Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 If you really want FI, sell your bike and buy one with FI. OTOH, anything can be done if you are willing to throw enough time and money at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helvet Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 And more HP Â 8) Not really....., just in theory. We had a test-day, and tested a lot of BB's on the same Dyno. All carb-bikes (no exceptions) had less HP than all the F1 models. This is explained because there is hardly any carb-bike running perfect. Even after a Dyno-session, rejetting etc., they are not as good as the F1 version...... Maybe we just had a few bad carb-bikes, I don't know, but this was the result of our testing. All the carb-bikes were in between 118 and 132 rear-wheel HP. All F1 bikes were between 134 and 154 HP (modified). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich There can be quite a difference between the different Dyno's.... That is why we compaired all these bikes on the same day, and on the same Dyno..... And yes, it is possible you've got one of the better set-up carb-bikes..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amherst XX Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Interesting. I was under the asumption that, stock, the carbed birds were higher. I think this needs more testing. :twisted: p.s. - I ran a 139 too 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
