33 Carburetor Vs. Fuel Injection [Myths & Facts]

What is the real benefit of using Fuel Injection instead of carburetor.. what are the tangible benefits of Fuel Injection?

The other day one guy quizzed me about the expected fuel efficiency of the KTM 200 Duke. I told him that I can’t tell for sure but it can be expected around the 30 Kmpl figure.

That guy was surprised and told me, “That low..?? But the KTM 200 Duke has Fuel Injection, so why such a low mileage figure?”.

I wouldn’t blame that guy as there are many myths surrounding “Fuel Injection” system. Till a couple of years back, even I used to think that "Fuel Injection" was a magic pill which elevated a bike's performance dramatically.

67 Ride Review: KTM 200 Duke - Agent Orange

I ride one of the most exotic and enjoyable motorcycle to have hit India till date..

"Brutal, brash, in your face with a heavy dose of attitude and with a good amount of substance to back it up"

That’s the KTM 200 Duke for you, a purpose built street scorcher that is blissfully unapologetic about its single minded focus to provide a kind of motorcycling thrill that was last seen during the 2 stroke era of the RD350’s and RX100’s.
