The DFI on the GPz can be tweaked by way of the sensors and pressure regulation. Still, aside from maintenance ease and better warm up, it's not much improvement over carbs. MSI is not the only control option. It does seem to be the most cost effective. I'm planning to buy as soon as I sell the gs1000gt and find a deal on a set of sleeves or 73mm pistons and rings for the 1100. Will be less than $1200 for sure.

thanks duck - could you elaborate on the modification of the system by way of the sensors...adjusting fuel pressure is a given...I did that while modding my f150 1/2 ton

IMO, compared to a good EFI system with ignition control, carbs are crap. Why? Because there is no way a set of carbs can provide the proper mix for all engine operating conditions.<br><br>Post edited by: Duck, at: 2006/09/27 00:22
Yeah, but who cares about all operating conditions? You only need idle and W O T!!!!!!!!!

the comment regarding fuel injection is great but you have to go for an aftermarket controller like those from 'megasquirt' if you are running any mods. The DFI system on the GPZ bikes were limited in that regard.
Still running the stock DFI on my bike. I haven't altered the sensors or the fuel pressure either.
It does have the holy grail of stock ECUs though:

In my opinion, the reason they dont sell such parts in the U.S. is because there is no market for it. A set of Yoshimura carbs sell for almost $2,000 USD over here. There are a lot of Japanese people who are dumb enough to drop that kind of money without thinking, so those carbs are quite popular here. However, in the U.S., im sure only a few people would spend that kind money, right? The difference in power from the CR carbs and Yosh carbs is not that significant, not enough that most people could justify spending twice as much.
