Carbureted bikes suck... except
on cold mornings when the sun has warmed the road...
I love the ease of electronic fuel injection. It's constant, easy, always there... kinda like a spouse... Carburetion is touchy, cranky, a black magic more then science really... but much like that naughty thing you took home at Mardi Gras ... when it's working right, oh mama  it will straighten your arms... and other things, if you are lucky.50'f mornings, you know the snow is about to fly, but you just don't give a damn.

The KLR did great going from 300 feet all the way up to 13,000 feet with it's stock jetted, shimmed needle carb.

I suppose if I wanted to be safe, I'd drive a cage. Just feels like a wicked different bike when the air is 50'F, instead of 78'F
