I have a 2006 carbed T100 and just purchased a 2013 EFI T100. I'll be selling one of them. Any opinions on which one I should keep?
Keep the one that suits you best. But take your time, there is no rush. Any time within the next five years should suffice - longer if necessary. As they say .... act in haste repent at leisure.
Due to Ethenol in UK fuel increasing to 10% later this year (so I have read on the internet). There is a benefit in keeping the EFI bike Ethenol in fuel doesn't like solder which I understand is used in carbs, it also degrades old fuel lines and connections. If stored for over a few weeks it will absorb moisture and start to rot older metal tanks and is really nasty to plastic tanks So anyone with a bike older than 10 years is at risk So I would keep the more modern bike; or you have to use fuel additives or source Ethenol free fuel from specialist suppliers for the carb bike
Heart says carb'ed; head says FI'd. Go with whichever shouts loudest ..... but the sensible (long term) answer has to be EFI - and that's from a carb'd bike lover - least I was until earlier today when I came home on my Daytona 500 twin (up to 4.5k rpm) aka 750 triple (4.5k to 11.5k rpm) which, you guessed it, had just had the carbs. removed, cleaned; checked and balanced ........................ <SIGH> It's going back in - again - next week!! EFI, then.
