Let's compare actual in-the-field examples... say over 20-years. A bike's going to need on average... what... 5x carb-rebuild kits?
5x60 = $300 carb-rebuilds, compared to...
EFI needs how many ECUs???
$000 !!! extremely rare to need a new ECU
So... $300 / $00 = ???, use limit as X approaches 0 = infinity!!!
Carbs cost infinitely more to maintain than EFI systems!!
That's why shadetree mechanics will go under, there's no need to pay them with EFI!!!
