Thanks for your answer! At moment I will stay like Im but in case of making the conversion I was thinking on making what you said.I would start by going somewhere like CMSSNL.COM and looking at the parts fiche. This should give you, part by part, what has changed, what has stayed the same and what is interoperable. You can focus on fuel system, electrical harness and dashboard. You can ignore the stickers. ;-)
If you have the patience, it should be just a matter of stripping both bikes down and looking very carefully.
Motorcycle wiring looms are pretty simple once you get them undressed, and the tools to make factory quality wire-by-wire changes in connectors aren't expensive or difficult to use. Many of the connectors are available as standalone parts. I rejuvenated my (somewhat older) Honda from "should I scrap it" behaviour to factory fresh behaviour (electrically) just by methodically refreshing corroded spade connectors.
I am presuming the injectors don't deliver into the cylinder head, and so it would be airbox, throttle bodies, ECU, dash. Depending on how trick you're feeling, you may be able to graft the FI light into your existing analogue dash with a little daughter board.
I wouldn't listen too much to the nay-sayers but would definitely start at CMSNL. Build yourself some kind of side-by-side columns in a spreadsheet and make a complete add/delete list. I suspect that having a complete fuel injection bike available to you means it's more about time than money.
There is one small but significant difference for mix and matched swaps that has to be considered.So Im start thinking on fitting all her Efi stuff to my 97 carbed XX. Is this worth it?
So could carby head be put on a FIThere is one small but significant difference for mix and matched swaps that has to be considered.
The EFI runs a knock sensor in the block, the carbie didn't.
Not an issue if the swap is engine + electronics but you can't mix and match here.
The tanks are obviously different, the FI was larger and contained the fuel pump.
In addition, the carbie had a sidestand warning light, the FI didn't this warning light became the Fi light, not an issue although it could become confusing.
Not sure. Would need to compare the carb/inj stubs on the head for starters.So could carby head be put on a FI
Reason I ask is I may have a line on a carby that's been port flowed.
Do the reverse think ...Hi all!!
I have the oportunity to buy a 2001 XX for cheap price, but the bike is without documentation or decommissioned. So Im start thinking on fitting all her Efi stuff to my 97 carbed XX. Is this worth it? I dont know if there is a lot of difference between this efi model bird and my carbed, fuel consumption, power.....
The only reason to make this conversion is to "modernize" mine because despite its 200.000 kms I dont have intention on selling or changing this motorcycle.
Does anyone make this conversion?
Thanks!!
Its not a bad idea! lolDo the reverse think ...
Take serial number of the 97 and install them on the 2001 !

The carb and fuellie heads are different and do not interchange, although the bolt pattern to the block is the same.Head gaskets can be different but still work. I'll have get a look at some pics off ebay. I'm suspecting they are different.
