- What is better fuel system for a motorcycle Fuel injection or Carboration?
I have only had carborated bikes, is fuel injection that much better? What should I buy and why

A Today's fuel injection sasytems are far superior to anything else ever put out on the market. Computers control virtually everything now. If you are really serious, you can have everything mapped out to suit your particular riding style, or to the track, if you are racing. Even elevation changes are no big deal anymore. As far as what to buy, you are on your own, there pal. I don't know what kind of rider you are, so it would be foolish for me to try to recommend a bike for you. I would suggest you go to a dealer, or several dealers, and tell them exactly how you ride, and what you are looking for in a bike. You should get a bunch of tips from that. Good luck, and keep the rubber on the road. Stevo.

- Motorcycle Fuel System Question?
In the process of trying to figure out what's wrong with my bike I've installed 2 inline filters for each fuel line out of the petcock. They are the clear kind so I can see what's going one. Here's the deal. The front filter never fills more than a few mms while the rear one fills right up to the top and stays that way. The bike runs great for the first 5 minutes then it just loses power, almost like when a plug goes bad. I'll let her sit for a while then take her out a few hours later and same thing. I'm wondering if the symptom of the filters is a hint to something that's going on and also, most importantly... WHICH fiilter is behaving normally? Should it be filling up right away and staying that way even when the bike is off or should it always be almost empty like the other one? BTW, I swapped the filters just to make sure it wasn't a bad one but they just did the same thing again. *** New Test - I swapped the 2 lines, with each filter still attached , turned on the bike and watched as the full filter (now in front) slowly drained, while the empty filter (now in back) started to fill. Hmmm??? 1990 Kawasaki Vulcan 750

A Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions. We need all of that info to give an informed answer. I don't know how your petcock works, or how it's supposed to behave without that info. Check that the petcock isn't restricted. Turn the petcock off, remove both lines. Put a container under the outlets and turn on the petcock to see if fuel flows equally from both. Next, install the hoses with filters attached, onto the petcock. Remove the hoses from the carbs and repeat that test to make sure the filters aren't restricting fuel flow. Depending on what bike you have, the overflow tubes on the float bowls are also the vent tubes. If one of the vents were clogged, fuel wouldn't enter that float bowl at the normal rate. Try blowing through the tubes to check for blockage. The gas cap vent may be clogged. While one line is letting fuel escape from the tank, the other line is acting as the vent. The negative pressure from the fuel tank is sucking on the second line, preventing it from flowing. Try removing the gas cap to see if the fuel flows normally.
