Fuel injection is better at metering a more precise fuel mixture, therefore by design allowing more efficient combustion which usually means better performance/fuel economy. Unfortunately most fuel injected motorcycles/scooters are set up borderline lean to pass emissions. This often negates the performance advantages of fuel injection over a well tuned carburetor, but fuel economy is usually better. Scooters with carbs are often set up with the same lean conditions, but it is a simple matter of rejetting to get optimum performance. Not always so easy to do with fuel injection. To get back on topic, I've owned about 10 scooters, not counting another 10 or so motorcycles. |

Besides better metering, fuel injection provides better efficiency by atomizing the fuel so it burns more completely or something like that.

My N.E. friends always called motorcycles scooters also! I have been riding (street,track,dirt, etc) since I was 15. I'm 71 now & it's just street. I wouldn't even try to guess how many motorcycles that I've owned. All I know is that it's a lot! Irish
P.S.I built a lot of motorcycles also but I did it in N.H. & it wasn't a Title state then so I sold them with just a Bill of Sale. It's a Title State now. |

I guess I own three if you count the Kymco project. Otherwise I own two outstanding Chinese scooters.
