I think its great for the Enduro guys, not so sold on it being great to MX/SX though, perhaps that is why it isn't coming on those machines.....yet....
1. An injector doesn't know what it's on. It just squirts fuel in the amount and time it is told.
Take an injector, get the OEM part number, for the Brand. Bosch, ND, whatever. Do a cross reference.
If you need help, get the Part number for the bikes OEM, cross that with the actual brands part number. ie Kawasaki Pt number 123 crosses to a Bosch ABC for example
There are only a handful of injector manufacturers, just like spark plugs.
By your logic, there would be 2,000 different spark plugs. There isn't.
A NGK plug doesn't know what bike, sled, car, truck or lawnmower it is in, and neither does a freakin injector.
If you can get it for 15 bucks at autozone in a Box that says Bosch or whatever, instead of KTM, why pay 100 at the dirt bike dealer? Do some research. It's easy now with the internet.
Do you also buy 25 dollar NGK plugs in the green Kawi box?
Do you really think Hondaline oil is made by Honda?
Yamalube made by Yamaha?
Its all rebranded and labeled. Go ask your autoshop teacher.
Better yet, don't do that. He'll probably tell you Ford motor oil is made by Ford.
Ford doesn't have an oil refinery.
It's Conoco Phillips.
The OEMS don't even make their own pistons.
Savvy?
The technology sure didn't come from snowmobiles. Unless of course they were being produced in 1902.
"An early use of indirect gasoline injection dates back to 1902, when French aviation engineer Leon Levavasseur installed it on his pioneering Antoinette 8V aircraft powerplant" (Copied from wikipedia)
The Shop
Oil injection does, or your ability to operate a ratio rite.
The EXCs are of course even more expensive, especially if you want to register them for the road.
How bah dah.
Not a single part number from any Bosch fuel injector cross references to any mx application.
This information is directly from the Bosch website.
How would you even know what parts cross reference? You said you've never had to replace any EFI related parts in 30 years.
This guy was pretty good back in the USA ISDE days. I'm pretty sure this old man will go bigger than you on his track driven quad.
Mine are Bosch and cross to multiple other brands.
I already stated I dont know who each OEM dirt bikes outsource to because 4 stroke bikes interest me zero.
Take one out and look!
Im guessing there are as many manufacturers as spark plugs. 10 or so major brands.
In less than 5 minutes I was able to find who makes the electrical and fuel injection parts for damn near everyone and every industry.
So now all you have to do is get your cross reference sheets or find where they sell non rebranded parts.
Listen, nobody here gives a rats ass about EFI in snowmobiles, boats, airplanes, road bikes, or any other application. We are interested in how 2 stroke motocross/off-road bikes will respond to the new-to-us technology. Absolutely nothing you have added in any of these threads helps anyone with the subject at hand. I'm happy that Bosch is your preferred brand of injector for your fishing boat, but seriously?
Your next screen name here really should be Cliff Clavin.
And for your question,
I also happen to have a spare plug for my Honda 2000 generator, which it has NEVER fouled a plug, and is going on about 12 or 13 years old now. I keep it in a plastic bag behind the little side cover stuffed by the airbox. Imagine that concept! Just in case!
And I've never owned a fishing boat out of the 9 I've owned. And the engines I buy can't be bought at a fishing boat place. Sooooooooooooo, you're pretty far off base. Again.
They don't sell 9,000 RPM premix race outboards at bass shops. LOL Or surfacing propellers than can stand that RPM.
In fact, only one had a gastly 4 stroke engine, a Centurion wakeboard boat, which is now my uncles boat.
You seem to me that you need to get outside and experience the outdoor world some before you die and it all passes by. There is so much to do!
Pit Row
I have a thought on 2-stroke efi, surely the bike could have a handlebar mounted switch that could swap spark plug firing between every TDC and every second TDC (as per a 4-stroke), one could switch to the 4-stroke cycle in poor traction conditions?
Sure the ecu would adjust the fuel injector to squirt every second TDC, any other considerations from those with thoughts on the subject?
I remember when ktm efi first came out on the 4t i had a buddy racing gncc who was ktm supported and he had a 350. I think he dnf at least 50% of the races that year with fuel problems, something about the injectors clogging bc of the pickup being too low in the tank and collecting gunk. And this ismt joe blow either, like i said a factory supported rider. He was driving hours and hours across the country's knowing the end result would be amother dnf but was obligated to be there.
Thats not to say all efi is shit, its great when it works correctly. Some manufacturers seemed to have it dialed. I know to this day, the worst running/performing machine i ever owned was also the one i spent the most $ on. A 2011 yfzr quad. All stock brand new you had to slowly apply throttle or it would choke out and stall. I bought a pipe and a tuner for another grand to get my brand new $9k machine to run correctly and it still didnt fix it. I called motoxperts and they said "oh yeah, that hike HAS to have a vortex ecu to run properly, you didnt get a dud they're all that way". The vortex was $700.
