Personally I've had more go wrong with carbs than I ever have EFI.
It's proven reliable technology and far more efficient than overly complex mechanical carburetors.</end quote></div>
Vote one for EFI keep it coming , with all us ATV Heads ( I'm use to Sledheads ) we should be able to debate this EFI vs Carb . We all want the most reliable machine when were in the middle of no where It's just which one would you pick to get you home ?

ok, first... to each his own...
second... complex carburetor??? can you tear down a efi system, clean it up easier than a carb??? doubt it.
i have a uncle that buys a new machine every other year and just traded in a honda rincon 650 and an 02 sportsman 500 for a 08 800 touring w/ efi.. he also has a suzuki king quad 700 and that was his frist machine with the efi.. he said he will never own a carb machine again...
me on the other hand will only own a efi when they stop making the carb..
oh yeah and ford is better than chevrolet
Another vote for EFI. Nothing wrong with a carb but the benefits of EFI outweigh the carb IMO. Actually EFI is a simple system, most complex part it the ECU, other than that it consist of fuel line,fuel pump and fuel injectors. Of course the ECU uses a few other sensors aw well. Now I will agree that EFI is more likely to leave you stranded if it has a problem. But fortunately I have never had a total failure with EFI, the system is pretty dang reliable. IMO alot of guys who get codes thrown have gotten sensor connectors wet and blame it on "crappy EFI". I have had mine throw several codes after pressure washing. Dry the connector,reset ECU, done
Wow another EFI vs. Carb debate! One more vote for EFI. I stay away from 30's technology,it's probably for the same reason I don't drive a older car! Dam technology. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I do hope you all know that most of these EFI systems are based of the same design found on street bikes and it is not all new technology!

the day will come... when im not so cheap or it is standard equipment.. i only have around 800' of elevation change and i love using the choke (LOL) so for now i don't see the use for it... plus they didn't offer it for the hawkeye
I ride in CO. so I change elevation all the time anywhere from 6000 ft to 12000 ft and will never do without EFI again!
