Default EFI Kawasaki in the Mag?

My friend said he seen a V-Force 700 EFI in the magazine. First i heard of this. He is going to buy the magazine and calling me back in a few. He also says a 450 EFI too, weird.

I'll let you know when I know more.

I think there was some confusion. The magazine had a v-force on the cover and was also advertising the 700 EFI Polaris. If I remember correctly, the fact that it was a polaris wasn't all that clear.

I would sure love to see the v force have efi, because I know that the prairie wouldn't be far behind.

They know people love the V-Force and everyone wants to see EFI on a sport quad so they sucker everyone to make you think EFI is coming on the V-Force and a 450, lol. Damn Dirt Wheels.

From your posts, I take it you guys are really serious about getting an aftermarked EFI Kit?

I am working on it now, but wanted to get more info on the "Want" factor of such a kit.

Your thoughts would be most appreciated.

Ride On.

95- an aftermarket EFI kit would be awesome, if it wasn't to cost prohibitive! BTW where do you ride in A2?

If the kit offers superb reliability, the parts don't cost an arm and a leg, they readily available incase something breaks, the quad getters better fuel mileage, runs smoother and has more power you can most likely get alot of kits sold. I run my V-Force and Praire in snow, mud, rain, rivers, etc. All the terrain types you can think of, at -30 to +30, so the kit must be able to take temperature fluctuations and it must perform well. What I feel is to expensive is over $1000 american, after that point I wouldn't buy it. I would like to see the kit, depending on what it contains, go for $500-$750.

Will this kit be for all ATVs and just adapt it to any model? Or is this specificially for the Kawisaki crowd? If you need help on this I am sure Alltoys could help alot, he has done all sorts of things to the Praire and I think he is trying EFI himself.

Well, I will try for a somewhat universal kit, but the problem with that is the bore sizes, throttle connections, and carb mount (boots) vary so much from machine to machine.

In the long run, I'd like to have an available unit for pert near each quad that has a carb (less the 2 strokes for oil on the o2 sensor reasons) but it will definately take a while. I was not targeting any particular model in specific, the prototype unit will more than likely get installed on a 95 wolverine..hmm wonder why? Pending testing, other models would follow. If it sells as good as I imagine it would, there would always be another kit in the R&D department of a newly formed company. It is input from riders such as yourselves that help to determine if it is a "justifiable" venture as well as what model to target next.

Hoping to have another converation with my "ECM" connection soon. We'll see where it goes from there.

Ride On.
