Title: efi!!!?? Post by mtlsir on 11/23/13 at 09:49:08 i was scrolling down some google search and i found a compagnie who make an DIY fuel injection kit, and they already had it work on a suzuki dr650, it would be interresting to see one on a savage! and they make TB from 38mm up to 65mm, at least our thumper can be efi w/o breaking the bank http://www.ecotrons.com/400cc_to_800cc_Engine_EFI_kit.html http://www.ecotrons.com/website/400cc_800cc_EFI_kit.jpg http://www.ecotrons.com/Throttle_bodies/42mm_throttle_body_assembly.jpg |

Title: Re: efi!!!?? Post by engineer on 11/23/13 at 18:17:52 The price isn't bad compared to what the OEM components cost when you buy them from a dealer. I have been told that a motorcycle ECU from a dealer can cost $1200. If you do this I think people would enjoy following your progress. If I get another bike it will have a carb(s). Troubleshooting is much easier. |

Title: Re: efi!!!?? Post by pgambr on 11/23/13 at 18:34:20 No kidding, I was expecting something much further down the road. |

Title: Re: efi!!!?? Post by Dave on 11/24/13 at 04:05:00 Speaking of much further down the road.....the video would have been better with a higher camera angle. If the backfire and afterfire on the Savage is bothering you....this might solve that problem. |

Title: Re: efi!!!?? Post by Trippah on 11/24/13 at 06:43:18 Would you also have to change gas tanks with EFI? |

My method for fixing efi is pretty simple... I just keep replacing $100 - $200 parts one at a time until it's fixed... It does get pricey though... :-?... Most carb repairs cost between 0 - $20... If the efi goes out on my Hurley... I'm buying a carb... ;D... |

Title: Re: efi!!!?? Post by wambr on 11/24/13 at 09:33:43 I see no need to install injector on his Savage . first: this is not a racing bike and of its mechanical heart don't need to squeeze "all the juice". secondly: the engine Savage has a rather small volume and accordingly is quite moderate fuel consumption. no, I'm not quite ready to give 699 bucks for this set. ;) 7A6C7B667E6B667D090 wrote:

Title: Re: efi!!!?? Post by SimeonC on 11/24/13 at 19:27:17 :-? that's pretty sweet and definitely original, if someone decides to try this be sure and do a before and after test so we can see the performance changes in the SAVAGE!! |

Title: Re: efi!!!?? Post by bobert_FSO on 11/24/13 at 20:41:23 <I see no need to install injector on his Savage . +2 I have no problem with a carb. They have been used for the past 100 years. They are easy for a person with average mechanical aptitude to clean, repair and set up. In a pinch, they can be repaired on the road. If using an OEM carb, they are relatively simple to tune yourself without a bunch of special equipment. Once set up, a carb will generally operate for years without requiring any further attention-- If the vehicle is used regularly and not allowed to set. For long-term storage (winter storage?), motorcycle carbs and fuel systems are easily drained. I myself am able to ride in the winter at least about once every 2 weeks. All I need is a temperature at least in the upper 40's. I don't own a battery maintainer or use any fuel stabilizers. |

Title: Re: efi!!!?? Post by Ragnar444 on 11/30/13 at 18:10:54 Totally understand an individuals love for the modern carburetor. But it is the 21st Century. For example. Isn't an internal combustion engine much more energy efficient than a steam engine? |

Title: Re: efi!!!?? Post by gizzo on 11/30/13 at 20:44:47 My wife's Monster is fuel injected. It feels overly sensitive to me. The throttle isn't as easy to roll on and off without driveline snatch as a carby engine. I prefer the power delivery of my Pantah with Dellorto carbs. Both got the same size engine. The best thing about the injection is the instant start and idle. Just my 2c. I'll be interested to ride a new injected Enfield single and see how it feels. |
