Default Fuel Inj

I plan on riding to sturgis for 69th rally. Someone who went last year said that I may have to have my fuel injection adjusted. This doesn't sound right to me?

The beauty of fuel injection is that it adjusts itself to compensate for changes in altitude and weather conditions. The only reason Fuel injection needs to be "readjusted" is when modifications to the bike are made such as lower restriction air cleaner and exhaust, cam changes etc. These changes cause the needs of the engine with regard to air fuel mixture and often ignition timing to fall outside the narrow parameters of the map in the computer which the manufacturer installed. This is accomplished by add on modification devices such as Power Commander and other brands which provide modified maps.
In summary, if your bike is stock ride wherever you want and have a great time!

That is what I was thinking, one more reason not to go into the motor until you have too.

Thank You

Nonsense. Unless you also believe that you need to change the air in your tires each new season for the bike to handle properly.

You mean you don't. I don't believe it.

Buzz is correct. I have tested many 07's, 08's and 09's and they all adjusted just fine with 1 exception for all the bikes and that is they dont really like drag pipes.

No car that is imported receives a different set of fuel injection parts. The car runs in the, 'stoic.' That means no matter that temp/climate/altitude/air pressure/keep adding the repeat of the vacuum we live in is 14.7psi times the stoic. She is going to run on any land mass on earth is pick a bike.

Consider FI as a perfect running fuel bladder and knows when to shut off and fill up the correct amount of bladder once the zipper comes down.
Consider the Carb as an imperfect faucet that does not shut off. It keeps flowing the same amount of uncontrolled bladder function; that carb is so old in technology you hit the "K" or the convenience store is add a box of Poise with the gallons wasted.

For example. When you head up the grade as in the mile high city of Denver, your car jet did not compensate for less air that high. So it soots up and acts rich and stumble out of the stoic.




This video is somewhat low tech. We are way beyond this and I think I may be too out there is that was one frustrating video. OK, back to the carb. Did you see how that fuel was metered as per stroke?
Do you now see that step between a carb wasting fuel in the single meter, where as the injector has the ability to feel the 14.7 in the stoic and can meter so much bladder is no longer the dripping faucet is my float bowl.

There is a math a set math to the bore and stroke to fuel to so much heat needed. So, you might say to hear someone tell you all about heading out on a bike that self tunes on it's own as it elevates over tear rain on his parade you go right back and ask him about how, "Stoichiometry" did he get there?

Stoichiometry This is more how you find that perfect injector grams of fuel per millisecond. And that bladder acts like the tide. That means, it has a range in the stoic and there is so much high tide and so much low tied, you can chart it by the hours burned or hours fished.

This is fuel injection abstract. That means you can fumble the rumble and the jibberish matches the loop. Which means, no matter how I speak, I can never leave that variable of the closed loop of the stoic.

Tell him to get his slide rule out... You guys are going riding!
