Motorcycle EFI? [was: cam timing}

[Buchholz, Steven]

... one injector per cylinder ... it's a pretty nifty yet simple system
which even supports an OXS if you want to go that way.  I'm pretty sure
that every K bike is fuel injected, but the Motronic system didn't come
into use until the 16V motor (the k1 was the first, but any 16V K100 or
any K1100 should make a fine donor ... the main problem is there are
very few wreckers for Beemers.  I've been looking for a totalled K1100
for some time now ...

HTH!
