What kinda issues am I gonna run into (if any) with power loss with a carbed bike? I know with EFI it auto adjusts and obviously I'm not gonna stop and adjust my carbs for every elevation change :lol:
will it even be that big a deal? just kinda wondering what to expect.

Same problems as any natural-aspirated, internal combustion engine. Doesn't matter if it's carbed or FI. The air is less dense, so there's less power. Super charging and turbo charging can ram more air in, but it doesn't matter in the real world. The slow cars and trucks clog the interstate at high altitude, so the best thing is to take back roads and enjoy the corners. |
