Nobody said anything about locking it, CWO... just the opposite. "Archiving" is saving it for the record. As a monument to irony...  :roll:

I still read this thread as entertainment, though I've given up the discussion... seems pointless when the author keeps jumping from one bike to another randomly... besides, I've already spoken my opinion more than once. Nothing left to say.   :bandit:

I assume the BA Membership Director meant that "I got it" meant the tote bag.

Alright, now I'm getting jealous... where's my tote bag? I want one even if it is imaginary! At least I can keep my Beatles CD's in it...  :bandit:

Should we tell him the "special tool" to read codes is a wire with a clip on each end?  :lol:

Or that the throttle bodies are synchronized by accessing the CPU?  :lol:

No seriously guys, did you know that the last throttle body injector systems in cages were phased out of production completely in like 1987 for port fuel injection.


That's completely false. Now you're just making stuff up...  :annoy:

Throttle Body Injection (TBI) is still used extensively, usually in modern V6's and V8's... utilizing one throttle body for all 6 or 8 cylinders in lieu of a less efficient carburetor. You find it in many mid to full-size pick-ups and SUV's.

Tuned Port Injection (TPI] is the next step up in efficiency and performance, and consists of an injector located in the intake port of each cylinder, with a shared mass air box which has a throttle valve. This is much cheaper and simpler than having a throttle body for each cylinder, but delivers better performance and efficiency than a single throttle body.

Having an individual throttle body for each cylinder is the best way to get maximum performance and efficiency, but it is also the most expensive... which is why they don't use it in most automobiles. Mass production costs would price them out of reach of the consumer.

Auto technology is usually behind motorcycle technology by quite a bit, Comparing the two is rather pointless.

Now even if you ignore this post, CWO, perhaps someone else will have learned something useful... so it's not a total waste.   :bandit:

Damn, and you accused Sven of having no reading comprehension.  :annoy:

Did you even read one freaking word of what I wrote?

"Throttle Body Injection (TBI) is still used extensively, usually in modern V6's and V8's... utilizing one throttle body for all 6 or 8 cylinders in lieu of a less efficient carburetor. You find it in many mid to full-size pick-ups and SUV's.

This is much cheaper and simpler than having a throttle body for each cylinder, but delivers better performance and efficiency than a single throttle body."

Now read this carefully... it's where I explained why a throttle body for each cylinder is best on motorcycles:

"Having an individual throttle body for each cylinder is the best way to get maximum performance and efficiency, but it is also the most expensive... which is why they don't use it in most automobiles. Mass production costs would price them out of reach of the consumer."

Why do you think the fastest bikes made today use a throttle body for each cylinder? Use your head!

This is getting tiresome... I told I was an AUTO TECHNICIAN for 30 years... and I happen to be a good 5 years older than you, sonny. So open up your eyes and learn from those who know, and quit making a fool of yourself.  :roll:
