They put fuel injection on the 06 Raptor 700R, why not the YFZ?

 

Because it is a RACE BIKE. Say your at a track and your getting ready for a race and you bike just aint running right. On a YFZ you can easily check numerous things with the carburetors. If you had EFI, and it messed up.....YOUR SCREWED!!!!!!!!!

 

That is true, but it is very rare that EFI screws up.
I guess we will find out how problamatic (IM NOT SURE IF THAT'S EVEN A WORD) the fuel injection systems are on the 700R and the LT-Z450 in 06

 

i bet you will see it on the 2007 yfz450

 

efi rarely screws up can say that yet... the 700r hasnt been out much... you haveta get a power commander to adjust it it isnt manual type efi...

 

I see the YFZ getting EFI in 2007, it would also be nice is they atleast offered reverse as an option.

 

yfz=mx quad

race quad why you need reverse i run my yfz on trails too and yet to ever need reverse light enough as it is to just pick up and move it if needed to

 

You're probably young and strong, I'm old and weak, I'd rather hit the reverse switch than yard it around [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Who needs reverse when these things will spin turn on a dime? As for EFI, Yamaha was the leader in the market when they introduced the YFZ. There was no pressure to go with EFI at that time, so why bother with more expense and complication? I would not be surprised to find that they have an answer to Suzuki within one model year of the Z450 being released though.
