G D Bike
« Reply #15 on: October 21, 2009, 08:51:29 AM »
One of my Harleys is fuel-injected ('03 FLHTI GeezerGlide). It was an option that year, and I went for it. So far, it's been great. I have heard that if there are problems with the EFI they are not easy to diagnose and fix on the side of the road, compared to a carburetor. That said, it has been very easy to live with; I have 41,000 miles on it, with only one small issue. I like to not have to operate a choke or the throttle prior to starting the engine, just turn the key, wait for the engine diagnostics light to go out, and push the button and it starts. Another bonus with the newer bikes is that they can be hooked up to a computer which can diagnose problems in short order, just like a modern car. The small issue I did have is that I once had an intermittent problem with a loose connector on a fuel injector, and the computer found it in seconds. it was a cheap fix, but I had to get it to a Harley shop to do have it done. It was rideable and didn't leave me broke down on the road; it's the only issue I have had with EFI.
