All,

I just filled out a survey about HONDA adding Fuel Injection to a furture QUAD. 15 questions about how much I would be willing to spend, what are the benifits and problems with doing this.

Any body else get it?

Got it yesterday. Hope they offer fuel injection, I would pay more for it.

say yes.... and add that all aluminum frames, bumpers, pegs, handlebars, A-arms, etc. would be nice too

let's bring these sport quads back down to 350lbs..... man they are getting FAT!

Raptor 399
Predator 415
DS 650 485

geeze!

at least the 400cc quads (EX, Z, FX) are all around the 375lb range

 

I also got the servey, and yes I would pay more for fuel injection if it had a baro (barometer) sensor for altitude compensation, even a MAP sensor would be OK if it looked at the reading with the key on engine off to calculate altitude.

We live at 4200 ft and do very little riding below 4200 ft. We have been as high as 13000 ft. Our dealer installed a 150 jet in our Rubicon (they re-jet every ATV before delivery) and it has run flawlessly for 2700 miles. Hot, cold, up hill, down hill, or at any elevation. I don't know how much improvment fuel injection would make on the driveability but I do prefer it over carburetion. As everything else Honda does, I am sure it would work flawlessly too.

I don't care if they ever made a camo color because everyone knows the red ones just run better and I do like the vertical bars on the racks.

 

Where did this survey come from?

 

I got the same email. do you think honda will come out with a fuel injected quad or are they just going to burst our bubble again?

 

I took the survey as well. I'm not even going to speculate what Honda has behind closed doors. In one of the rags an R&D guy they interviewed said they have many models of bikes and quads that will never be released. I wouldn't put it past Honda to have a couple of different quads that they are going to choose one from to put into production.
