imago Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 A simple (I hope) question, what year did the TL (European/UK market) go over to injection?

I'm not too familiar with modern bikes so just assumed that early ones were carb'd. I'll have to have a look at it now just out of curiosity!
Gixer1460 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Not surprising as plenty of ads state ' carbs cleaned' when the bike was only ever fitted with Throttle bodies! Some people know jack about their own bike! 1
Matt-Man Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 The TL was the first bike to receive Digital Fuel Injection I read yesterday!

Matt-Man Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Dunno about all that shit... I’m only communucating what I read in CCM yesterday! There may have been FI for earlier bikes but was it digital? Ive no idea!

All FI before that was mechanical. ps - don't believe all you read LOL!

You're ignoring the analogue EFI systems like Bosch L-Jetronic and KE-Jetronic of the 80s. Rather than using lookup tables of stored values like digital EFI they used analogue electronics to meter fuel. I'm not sure what the Kawas used, but injected Ducatis and Bimotas were digital well before TLs. Ducati 851 and Bimota YB4EI were injected in 1987, both Weber Marelli digital systems.
Captain Chaos Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) BMW K100 flying brick had efi in 1984 (Bosch LE Jetronic) Edited April 2, 2020 by Captain Chaos

Captain Chaos Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 LE Jetronic according to the manual i have. No flap valve. My old man had one of these things
Gammaboy Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) They definitely had a flapper AFM like any other L-Jet. The K75/K100 guys suffer the same issues as the 80s euro car guys with them. http://www.kforum-tech.com/electrical/EFI/bike-wont-start-EN.htm Edited April 2, 2020 by Gammaboy

Sorry 'bout that. But as you said, way off topic.
