    Any fi system needs to have fuel pump submerged...
    Otherwise the pump might get damaged or not work properly....

    Another pointer over carb and fi...
    Carb bike kinda gives you a raw sense of power ( personally experienced )

    Who needs a stereo when you've got a throttle ? :p

      And the new FZ 2.0 gets FI system... oh im so jelly.. funny part is one of it's horses has fleed, FZ now makes 12.9 bhp instead of 13.8.. Lul these Yamaha R&D are such losers imo.

      We still on the carburetor.. but honestly it's only a pain in the ass in winters for me. Summers no problems at all.
      having trouble with cold starts on carbed bikes must really hurt the engine in the longterm, because a FI engine can be left to idle for a minute to let the oil circulate, no problems there. While a carbed bike, say P220 & 200NS may be revved or even redlined by noob riders for a quick warmup when it's super cold.. resulting in major wear and tear in the first minute or two, we should never do that. I have this neighbor who had a 220 and used to have such painful cold starts, even if he revved it's cold engine way high, still the engine died again n again.

A proven FI engine like the one on r15 needs nearly no major dissemble and maintenance at all. Only the injector needs cleaning.Summary: FI is very convenient.Advantages of carb over FI:1. It is a very simple mechanical device. It just needs a 30 min lesson for a noob to learn how to tune. FI needs experts with know-how in automobile electronics.2. In case any breakdowns occur on a highway, the carb can be serviced by any local mechanic with a screwdriver. An FI, though less likely to fail, in such an event needs an authorised svc.3. The full capacity of the tank can be utilised in a carb engine. FI vehicles are equipped with a fuel pump in the tank to regulate fuel flow. This pump always needs to be immersed in fuel so it is mandatory to maintain a few liters of fuel.4. Maintenance, though must be carried out more often than an FI system, is cheap for a carburetor and is negligible.5. Some FI equipped engines cannot be push started. Not the case with carbed engines. No exceptions.6. Modifications require simple carb upgrades and unlike FI engines, approximation in this regard works to an extent. An FI engine is much more complicated and needs different ECUs for heavy mods. They must be super accurate and this cant be done by a layman.Summary: carburetors are old, simple reliable technology with abundance of people who know how to work with them.Sent from my GT-S5360 using Tapatalk 2
        People says FI engine need high quality fuel,why is that so? Of course hight quality fuel means high performance but what if fi engine gets normal quality fuel? Does it drop its bhp or torque?

          The injector or parts of the fuel pump may get clogged if bad quality fuel is used.

            Easy tip... when using a fuel injected or even carbed bike... after every 1000kms add about 100ml of injector clearner liquid into the last quantity of fuel left (safe limit set for that fi bike) ans usually the reserve of a cArbed bike. Injectors will be clean and carbs will have a weird shiny clean body inside. No black deposits.

              BTW I'm a total noob when it comes to bikes too, I don't even know how to ride one properly.
              In my college internships are only for 4th and above semester students. I just finished my 2nd sem exams yesterday. So if I don't get a bike by then will join something.
              Even i am slowly learning how to ride a bike on my friends P150. I already learnt how to drive a car so not too hard for me.

              The new FZ 2.0 also makes lesser power. Displacement has been reduced too. And the FI NS also has exact same power as the carb one. Maybe thats the new trend.
              Also does FI mean one need not adjust the AFR screw for a rich\lean mixture manually??


              Thank You everyone for quick replies. Helped a lot.

                Yes the F.I. system automatically adjusts the air fuel mixture according to different sensors. This is the best part of the F.I. system.

                When riding on hills, F.I. system automatically adjusts for less air intake but in carbed bike you have to set those settings on your own.

                  The sensor is a gear light switch which replaces the neutral light switch

                    For tuning take your bike to nearest puc centre and check co lvl
                    1.5- 1.6 is ok.. below this it would be lean mixture..
                    Another the way via trial and error method
                    Set your idle rpm to 3000k and turn your afr screw to leanst possible state and then start adjusting the mix via getting judgement from throttle response
                    Crisp throttle response is what you notice once you hit right spot..

                    If still cant do.. it take to a known mech he'll do it for you :-)

                      what does a well run-in engine have to do with good acceleration ? infact, it's said and seen that a hard run-in engine actually makes marginally more power.
                      source - personal experience
                      You must run the engine in slowly and at the end when everythings set and your compression is at the max then you should open it out to top speed. That is the perfect engine. Your engine must be free and must have the best compression possible for best performance. But if you rip a new engine made by the company it wont damage your engine so much cauz the company keeps extra clearance so people donot cease their engines and also if you run it in well a good carbon seal will form in all the small gaps and increase compression and also rings need to become perfectly round

                        I have completed my 600 km on bike and went for my first service four days before

                        now a couple of things bother me

                        1. why they wash the bike before the mechanic works on the bike
                        at the service center they took my bike and first gave the complete wash and then mechanic work on it and he leaves oil everywhere on the bike on tank on frame every where and after his work they just clean it with cloth and polish the bike and because of this the oil left below the front seat has come below the seat in the form of drop and made my cloths dirty

                        2. the mechanic has opened the tank cover and tank to clean the air filter but when he opens he saw that the air filter is already clean and fit it again without cleaning
                        my question is that is it a necessary or a regular procedure and you all have gone through this ?

                        3. the mechanic has set the rpm by turning the screw (black color plastic screw which can be turned by hand and is on right side of engine)when i was at service station it was normal but when i reached home engine was running at 2.5 - 3 rpm then i turn the screw myself and bring the rpm back to 1.4 and now rpm always ranges between 1.4 to 1.5
                        my question is that my turning of that screw myself and bringing the rpm to 1.4 is OK or i have to go to mechanic again

                        4. i told mechanic that my rear disc when hot it is difficult to move the bike with foot means not that bike doesn't moves its that it just little bit difficult to move and he just opens the bleeder valve of rear disc adjust the rear brake light button and thinks he fools me but i said him after he does all this my brake light always remains on though i does re adjusts myself but mechanic does it so because it is a free service

                            Was beginning to feel like the thread was becoming starved of pics so here are some from yesterday. Rear chicken strips almost used up for the fifth time in the 13k kms that ive used the tyre. The bike is closing in on two years and 30k kms of ownership. The mods (15k kms old) on the intake ports and the air filter are also running trouble free.

                            P.S with regard to the carb vs fi discussion, though its an old tech now, im happy with my carburetor. It's running trouble free. It can manage one click cold starts (sometimes two but thats it), can take bad petrol and i have access to the full tank range excluding the unusable 500 ml. I have to admit im kinda glad to not have an FI system yet and admittedly not many people outside the svc (especially me) can work on one either.

                                That's not why I said that.
                                I said so because people comment on this forum 99% for problems they gave with their bikes.
                                And 90% times of their problems mentioned on this problem, it is related to abnormal AFR RATIO, which is due to requirement of manual adjustment of carb, if FI was there, then need to adjust carb perfectly wouldn't be an issue, and then people wouldn't had commented so much on this forum for problems of which only a imperfect carb setting was the sole culprit.
