Existing SV FI is just a petrol squirter. It's more controllable than carbs, which is why it's better emissions-wise... SV carbs have three cirtcuits so it's always a compromise, but FI has much finer control.

Basically, cheap FI like SVs- most bikes in fact- have is designed to cut emisisons, and to meet with current fashion. (because everyone knows FI is better, right? Well, look at KTM. They put FI on the Superduke because they had to to get it through Euro 3, but they put carbs on the SM through choice- and there's no argument which fuels better) It doesn't do half the stuff good FI can do.

This year's GSXR gets closed loop FI though, I think it's a first for a Suzuki sports bike. BMW have done it for ages. lso, Suzuki have been smart enough to put the sensor before hte end cans so that if you get a K6 GSXR, you can swap the end can and it ought to fuel right.

Really? I must have read of a more complex system they fit in a car. Still, no carb icing

Yup, I'll give you that

No retuning with a screwdriver and £5 worth of parts either though...
