[Diy_efi] thinking about EFI'ing my motorcycle

[J M]

Probably the easiest solution is to get a set of Throttle bodies with injectors from a bike that was fuel injected. ?
Around here Honda CBR600F4i parts with low miles are plentiful at the cycle salvage yards, too many first time riders think it's a good "starter" bike. ?

Hey guys,??I have this crazy idea to EFI my motorcycle (1992 Suzuki Bandit GSF400).?It's a great bike to go through my city (lane splitting is not forbidden in my country), but making it more powerful, reliable and a bit more fuel efficient would make it even better.

The thing is that it's using four (quite small) 32mm MIKUNI carbs.And I have no idea what to use for TB. The rest is just a matter of spending some money on fuel pump, oxygene sensor, and MicroSquirt of course and then a dozens of hours to build it and and tune... ?Any suggestions regarding throttle bodies?
I was thinking about making?appropriate?holes in carbs and putting injectors at an angle... or using unmodified, unfueled carbs as TBs and injecting into the manifolds... The thing is that I don't have place, tools and?experience?to do any welding and machining. I would need to "outsource" this work to somebody. :-)

TIA
Szymon

Ohio has some 1?C rain I?d LOVE to send your way.
Think it will make it??On a side note, I would like to thank whoever is keeping this list alive.

?Well, its good to see the list is near on back to its old self (the days of ION sensing) and the people for/against those deciding to develop and flog it.
For those that remember the old days, and those thar even pitched in a few $$ to keep the server running and help Steve R, these comments are all water of a ducks back. I provided schematic reviews of the MS in the old days, so should I claim my share of the loot. Honestly, I couldn't give a hoot, I'm happy someone has developed a system that will compete with the OEM's, Motec, even Haltec (only because of cost for Motec and Haltec).
I started doing a MS in the early days when everything was FREELY available. Go back through the archives, pcb layer plots and all, including sample code for any softies to develop their own application was readily available (and probably still is).
In the end (not being a software person, hate it like the plague). I just bought a Wolf system as it was more mature at the stage and a lot cheaper than Haltec.
?In the end, why does the code for MS have to be available for others to compile, what is the benefit ? As long as you can easily alter tables and parameters, then who cares ( I for one wouldn't like to change the code and end up with a rod through the block). This is more than you can easily do on a OEM system, unless someone has already done all the hacking for table and parameter locations for you.
?I'm just going back inside now as its way too damn hot outside. Maybe the list members could use their built up anger to do a bit of a rain dance for those of us in Western Australia.
