[QUOTE="RYNO785, post: 22341, member: 440"] It is definitely possible but none of the manufacturers are spending development dollars on 2 strokes anymore. If anyone were to make it happen it would probably be KTM. However KTM is the only one that hasn't gone to FI on their 450 yet. They say that it offered no power advantage and they have had one of the best 450 motors for the last couple years. Yamaha is the only other big manufacturer that is still making a 2 stroke at all and they haven't changed the YZ250 in the last 6 years. Unless a aftermarket company steps up to the plate and offers a FI system I highly doubt that it will ever happen. Other than not having to make jetting changes I don't really see FI as a advantage anyway. Maybe on the 250F's just to get rid of the hesitation off the bottom they are so notorious for but it doesn't make any more power than a carburetor. All of the tests of the new FI bikes that I have read say that the FI bikes don't have the over rev that the carburated bikes did. [/QUOTE]
