I only know what reading up lately has told me while I consider my own purchase options, but there are many millions of EFI bikes running with no problems and no-one who has one, apart from a few old fashioned souls, would do without them.

The latest I read in my monthly dirt bike magazine was that another couple of years is needed to be sure of the technology. I can't see why that would be when just about all cars have been fine with it for more than two decades, I am just reporting it. It may be to do with the hard use MX and similar bikes get or it may just be a myth because a few had problems or related issues such as the injector blockage due to poor fuel filtering systems. After reading the wikipedia entry I cannot imagine why it is so late into many bikes, probably just the costs.

Yingyan seem to have their act together so you never know, depends on where they sourced the EFI. If it was me, I would risk it in Aus because there are diagnosis tools, mapping tools and possible replacements with educated technicians. China? Seems not but I bet it catches up fast. As i keep saying, it is not stupidity or ignorance it is lack of access to tech gear and training. Once they get it, you see computer equipment appear as good as anywhere else, half price. Plenty of chinese hackers too. As I said before also, it is not so far away that you will be able to buy a diagnostic tool for EFI on Taobao, just not this month!

But China V is the expert and practical man for all this stuff so as he agrees with what I learnt yesterday in the latest magazine then go with that. You will only have one bike for a while, you want one you can work on or fix with a mate or guidance on here.
