Is it perfect? Nope. But it's getting very close. We are now 3 model years into this.
Why will EFI will save the 2 stroke dirt bikes? Here are some of the reasons we talk about in this podcast.
- Emission standards in Europe Euro 4 and Euro 5 - Those are a Big Deal. If KTM can't sell a 2 stroke in Europe, they can't sell them in the USA and the 2 stroke goes bye bye!
- Many people are getting and will get their first experience on how a 2 stroke motor can really run. Most people aren’t even checking tire pressure, let alone turning their carburetors! Now you just get on and ride.
- After EFI came to 4 strokes and they were so easy, it made the 2 stroke seem hard to tune. That is gone. No Jetting! No mixing fuel!
- Now it’s not as big of a target for the environmentalists in the USA mostly California. Stupid argument because we have 500 lawn mowers for ever dirt bike, but I digress.
- Improved fuel economy because it’s not dumping gas out.
- EFI bikes run so clean and smooth, it makes them feel even lighter than before.
