wich is better in the winter a carborator or fuel injection?

Question

carborated motorcycle's or fuel injection motorcycle's work better in the winter

Answer 1

Fuel injection is the best in any weather.

Answer 2

I have owned around 8 motorbikes now and I can emphatically state that fuel injection is far superior to any carburettor on either a car or motorcycle for standard use! They do not have as many fuel deprivation issues and fuel consumption is better due to accuracy of the fuel management systems. Power deliver is smoother and the bike will fire up and run smoother in the cold. In winter fuel in a carburetors can ice up and cause running problems too. Now, if you are into muscle bikes and custom a carburetor can be a beautiful thing.

Answer 3

Fuel injection works better then a carburator for a main reason : preset limits from a computer.
A computer has different operating phases - a cold start, warm up and operation.
Cold start: sensors tell computer that the motor is cold, it pre detirmines ful/air mixtures richer then normal for easier starting ( choke)
Warm up: when the sensors sense the motor is warming, it leans the fuel a bit.
Operation: once the motor is thouroughly warmed up in the proper operation range - it then goes into a mode that will adjust for different situations - high speed, slow speed, heavy throttle ( up hills) - it adjusts the fuel/air mix constantly.
With a standard carb- using the choke technically wastes more gas - as its not a true " mesured" flow - its dumped in until the choke is shut off manually , neither is the fuel bieng delivered to the motor itself - the fuel is dumped in the middle of the motor and separates - one cylender can recieve more then the next. With fuel injection, each cylender is a set mesurement of fuel/air, therefore better combustion.

Answer 4

It depends on the system. A completely modern fuel injection system is better in all temperature and pressure extremes. A carburetor depends on fuel vaporization prior to being heated by the engine block. It is more difficult to vaporize fuel in colder weather.

However, some of the early fuel injections, including the Harley Davidson models up to 2002 are a primitive fuel injection system, and will not adjust to differences in altitude and temperature. A performance carburetor will outperform those early fuel injection systems.

I would be more concern about my tire choice if I were to drive my motorcycle in the winter.

Answer 5

injection is better with a cold engine because the fuel is sprayed as a mist near the intake valve & combustion chamber, with a carburetor fuel can condense out of the fuel air mix on the cold walls of the longer intake tract. also with a carb most of the enrichment processing is done in the operators head by guess work instead of an ecm computer. about the only place their equal is at wide open throttle with a warmed up engine or at idle.

Answer 6

Fuel Injection is far superior to carbs no matter what time of year it is. Fuel Injection is computer controlled and talks back and forth to the engine. Carbs are just floats and jets.

Answer 7

I think carborated motorcycle is better, because my bike is such one. If u want to know more info of this two, I advise u to get on a site called bikerkiss to get more help. There are many professional motorcyclists there. They will give u some good advices.

Answer 8

Fuel injected is always better. I would hope there's no snow in winter there.

Answer 9

Fuel injection, hands down! Carberators worked for many decades, and are fine if you know how to set the choke for starting.

Answer 10

Fuel injection is also better if the bike is not run that often.
