I think I saw one for sale on Ebay. Just look, you should be able to find it. I can't remember the manufacuter though.

The company that makes the fuel injection for the Cannondales has developed a system for the YZ-426. I called them a while back, but never got any further than that. Not sure if the system would work on the Raptor or if they had a variation that might. Here is the website, http://www.optimum-power.com/products-e-mgmt.htm

OregonMXracer you're full of $hit!

velocityraptor, that is a great idea. I emailed a couple places already that said they specailize in custom fuel injection systems. I wonder if it is possible and if it $$$$$ feasable. Can't wait to hear back from them.

I posed this question back in October of last year and no one really had an answer. That's where I found the GP system that Cannondale uses. I am sure that you could use this system, but it would necessitate using FCR carbs(The stock carb on the YZ426), which you will be out $750 just for the set of carbs that you have to tear apart to install the EFI system. Not sure what the system runs, but I am guessing at least a grand. I think it would be better to have throttle bodies instead of the FCR's anyway.

Why am I full of $hit? I swear I saw a fuel injection kit on their. You can go search, you'll probably find it. Do you have proof that I didn't see it, DIDN'T THINK SO!

For what it's worth I searched and didn't see anything on EBay.

OregonMXracer the burden of proof is on you, you stated there was one on ebay, you prove it!

I did give you the benefit of the dought and I did look and nothing.

I will now have to charge you 10mins of my time. My rate is $150 an hour.
Sorry, but I round up to the nearest hour. Email me and I'll tell you where to send the check, certified ofcourse. I can give you a P.O. # if you'd like.

Hey, in this economy I gotta make my company money somehow.


I would like to see what http://www.samcoeperformance.com/ comes up with!

Well, I couldn't find it either, but I know I saw one on there. Maybe it was for a Banshee.
