Yeah, that having to pull the choke out and then push it in SOUNDS PRETTY COMPLICATED. Don't know if I could handle that. Maybe I'll take a course on it.'

LMAO

 

Ya I hate technolgy too! Its a good thing I have that **** on my Hemi woulden't know what to do without it.

Sorry I don't mean to be a a-- but if the option is there for EFI why not?

 

Yah, thats cool. My point is that EFI is better in some areas but certainly not enough to not buy a carbed quad. I prefer the reliability of the carb as I can repair it in the bush. That can't be done with an ECM.

 

To me the issue of a bad ECM is null This may not apply directly to Polaris but in Yamaha's case the ECM is basicaly the same that they have been using on street bike for years and never much to any issues. There really isn' mutch that can go wrong w/ a ECM as it is just a prinnted cb. One thing I love about EFI is an allot of bikes you can change the ECM to a programable one for diff fuel curvs for diff accessories IE: exhaust. Everthing will have it's + and - but I will deal with EFI as it is the way of now and the future.

 

EFI will definitely be the only way in the future but for now, my choice is for the carb. I'M A DINOSAUR, SO WHAT!

 

That's cool to each man his own! Not to get off do you enjoy/like that Hawkeye?

 

exellent points from from Dodge and Stendori about ECM and remapping etc, Im pretty much sold on the EFI unit but will also note the HO model, either of which is good for Me, there is also the issue of looks and that blue EFI is prettttty, Im gonna trade in the Hawkeye and I hope i dont have to take a bath to bad, Thanks RP

 

I like that blue color I think that there is a very pretty red as well!

You know, of all the bikes I've ridden, I love the handling of the lightweight Hawkeye. I ride with a couple of big Polaris's, Hondas, & Can AMs and have never been anywhere that they could go & I coudln't. Maybe to do Mud & wheelies it may have some limitations. On trails that I ride you don't exceed 10 mph max so it doesn't matter how fast your machine is (on a paved or gravel road), I can keep up.

It'll climb great to 6,000 ft.(like the factory says) and then I take the air box lid off and am good to 7,500 ft. It'll climb rocks, steep inclines. All in all a great entry level and non-extreme use machine.

Thanks I was looking for something for the old man and I tink that this would do the trick. I will take a closer look.
