The reason I like my carbs is because they're easy and cheap to work on compared to an FI version. (a few jets and some washers is like $20 and I can have a bike that runs well with any intake/exhaust/altitude combination I can imagine, whereas a Power Commander is like $400) They get clogged, you clean them with carb cleaner and compressed air. When something breaks, you buy a repair part, instead of needing to plug your bike into a computer and read the codes or take it to a dealer. But don't get me wrong, I want an EFI version of the bike. I'm keeping this one till I graduate college, and then buying myself a new one either with EFI, or with an aftermarket EFI kit. But the carbs work just fine.
I feel like Kawasaki USA is just being dumb or cheap or both for as long as they can still make money while doing it
