dadof2 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Why have £several hundred of laptop and leads - carb can be adjusted with 50 pence screwdriver any place any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Yes but where's the fun in using a screwdriver when you can hook it up to a computer........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 But can you adjust you pilot jet, main jet, needle, throttle cutaway in a few minutes ! The FI allows that Plus I've yet to need to adjust it for elevation, temp or humidity Just reset the TPS every 100 hours or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 If fi can work at very very low rpm just as a 2 stroke takes its last gasp then every make would have fi. It doesnt. They dont. Plus you need power for it to work and there are pages and pages on here about that. So in balance fi is good, but its not perfect yet. Carbs are good too.

lotus54 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 The OSSA runs better top to bottom then any bike I've ever owned or ridden in the last 48 years of riding. No issue with power, although the early ones without Easystart were finicky. Probably better with a larger batt. It works very, very well. Could it be better ? Certainly. Wait... I forgot. OSSAs are crap and the worst bike ever made. WHat was I thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsiklonaut Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) It's proven many times over that a well designed and mapped FI is superior to any fiddly carb in existance (ask ANY high-end race machine designer or race mechanic (only a village mechanic will tell you carb is superior)). Why the other manufacturers dont use it is a simple case of experience. They have none. FI needs a lot of work at the beginning to get things right for the speciefic engine, most manufacturers just dont have the balls to make a move from that smelly carb they are too used to and it does work satisfactory for them.With FI you can make it work brilliant.True, OSSAs FI isn't perfect either (a system w/o battery do doubt will have starting issues), but TRi is known to be the smoothest pulling and most predictable 2T trials bike engine currently around. Its not because reverse cylinder, its because they have invested a lot of time making a well mapped FI for it.

telecat Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Chris is doing rather well on his TR300i. The major Plus point is that the engine, once warm, runs the same at the start of a trial as at the end. As for computers I have a Surface Pro3 and 4 as well as a few Laptops available to me. Haven't really needed them yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imexian Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yea, strange that, the more crap the bike (say some) the better you ride it. It must be a fluke, anyone that has a rubbish ossa, always seems to ride well?? What's that saying? It must be I'm lucky, the more I ride it the luckier I become.....??

tsiklonaut Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 tsiklonaut, where did you get your cable kit from ? Got from Joa Hindren. He's official OSSA, Scorpa & Vertigo dealer in Northern Europe. Joa is a very knowlegable person about OSSAs and I've got everything I've ever required from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
