Title: fitting injection to a steamer......
Post by: rybes on October 03, 2010, 06:31:02 PM
possible ? im thinkin as the early 885 model is injection, the injection set up from one of those would fit a steamer ? reason i ask is im thinkin of puttin me tiger on a rollin road cos of the exhaust n filter. ive been lookin at injection parts and it seems itll all work out the same in the end. my guess too is that in the long run, injection will be better than carbs ?

what ya reckon :wink:

probably easier to just buy an injection bike..  :)  think I'm right in saying that the  885i is a different engine rather than just a steamer engine with injection so not just a case of bolting on the injectors... then theres all the elctronic magic and sensors to go with it to make the FI work... and a fuel pump... and... ?  :?

:?  so you can 'just bolt on the injection'  :D  seems a lot of work, although as the bloke says in his thread he's done it mostly 'because he can'..   8)
