I believe 2001 was the 1st year of the CBR600 F4i.

Well if you don't use your bike that much the carbs can get water in them or the jets can clogg up causing your bike to stall or not idle right.

Not like carb'ed bikes. I have my brother in laws 98 Kawi EX250. We just had the carbs synched, new needles and floats installed. It was running good for about 2 months then he did not use it again for about 2 weeks. now it is running like crap unless I let it idle and warm up for about 20 minutes before we use it. I never have had problems on a fuel injected bike. Knock on wood!!!

I dont want the maintance of a carburated bike.

I had a kart with a carburator, also a couiple cars, and i am through adjusting them

my integra with Fi worked wonders and was 100 times easier to tune.

I dono just a personal preferance really

some people have great luck with carbs.

Thanks for the input!!!

FI can be a bitch to tune too, i mess with my maps all the time. but once you get it right... holy hell throttle response

never had any problems with the carbed bikes ive had, but my bike dont sit much, even in winter. pulling the airbox to change out jets can suck tho if you have to do it alot.
