Default Re: Carb or FI

for your first bike i wouldn't really worry, the difference isn't enough to make it a deciding factor

but i prefer FI, and there really isn't any advantage to carburation hence why everything is going to digital fuel injection... it adjusts better to different altitudes and climates, if you say put a exhaust on it, it will compensate alot better with out tuning than carbs will... way easier to start on cold mornings, better fuel economy... if you do modify the bike its easier to just download a new map than remove the tank, air box, carbs, install and fine tune a jet kit in a carb... also carbs can get dirty or gummed up and stuff where you hardly see that with fuel injection

you asked the pro's so those are them but please don't take it as carbs are bad, if the bike is in good condition and you don't keep changing mods on it which is how you first bike should be anyways then you won't even see a difference between the two
