    EFI questions

    I don't know any bolt-on kits but it can be done. I have installed Megasquirt based injection on my GS1100 and it didn't cost much, less than set of new carbs. Ofcourse it required some effort but not enormous amounts.

    Here are some pictures and details of my installation if you are interested:

    Hi ArttuH, first I would like to thank you for an interesting post. I am looking at the two graphs depicted in the above link and I have a question or two regarding them. The second, or right graph, can you tell us what it is saying? It is very difficult to read. I assume it is a HP/Torque vs RPM. How does it compare to the baseline one on the left? Second have you ridden the bike with the EFI and what are your findings?

      Shhh.. don't tell earlfor, But I have injectors, pump, and FPR coming for one of the 550's in my house ;-)

      If you love it, let it go. If it comes back....... You probably highsided.
      1980 GS550E (I swear it's a 550...)
      1982 GS650E (really, it's a 650)
      1983 GS550ES (42mpg again)

        Hi, both graphs are backwheel power/torque vs backwheel speed. Black curves are power in kW (=1.36HP). If you take a close look on the curves you will see few crosses on them, numbers are measured only at these points so don't pay too much attention on curve shape.

        Left graph is stock bike, KN filter in air box, jetted, restrictive 4-1 exhaust. Right graph is with the EFI, very slight porting, home-made free flowing 4-1 exhaust. With these modifications maximum power increased by 14HP, from 95 to 109. Low- and mid-end power increased even more.

        By this far I have ridden with the EFI about 20000 km and two seasons. Increased torque is very noticeable and nice in everyday riding. Fuel mileage is pretty much the same than with carbs, a bit more or less depending on tuning.

        At this moment I'm installing a turbo on the bike. Let's see how it will affect
