What are the performance, reliabilty, and responsivness differences between a bike with EFI and a carb'd bike? Are there any real pro's to having a bike with EFI?

Thanks,

Petro

If you leave the bike stock go with a EFI , now if you are into moding you will have to get someone to redo the fuel map.

There are only two quads on the market right now with EFI. I would say because its still new to ATVs give it another year or two and go with a regular carbs. ~coop

I thought I read somwhere that the polaris efi's are really only TBI(throttle body injection). Just curious if anyone knows for sure or not.
