Why didn't Yamaha add oil injection systems

Why didn't Yamaha add oil injection systems that mix the oil and gas automatically ?

 

what is the disadvantage of have this oil injection system in Banshee.

 

currently you have to do the pre-mix

but with the oil injection system you have to only pour gas in the tank and yamalube in another small tank that the oil injection system will take care of it as far as mixing is concerned.

 

Yamaha could have also put an option to switch off the Oil Injection System so those who want to do thier own mixing ratio can do so.

Yeah what they said.

 

My sister used to have a blaster, and I don't know if it was mechanical or what , but when you would take off that damned red light would light up. Who knows if it was getting oil or not. We assumed it was.

It would also light up for no reason.

 

Thats the biggest bitch is you have to depend on a mechanism to dispense the proper amount of oil per gas amount fed into the engine. When you mix it, you KNOW its there in the tank waiting to be burned.

Yeah, Oil injection, U dont want it. Recently my wifes blasters blew up because it went out. Then you end up buying them a YZF 450 even after the blaster is rebuilt better than new because you get tired of hearing how you ride a nice new quad and all they got is a cheap used piece of shit. :shootself: J/K It wasn't like she had to twist my arm very hard for me to get one for her as long as I get to ride it of coarse!

they actually do make very reliable injection systems on snowmobiles, but they arent as worried about weight, and the design allows for it more I guess.

 

Also another note, did the rz350 have oil injection? I think thats premix as well isnt it? That would pretty much sum it up if it was.

My rd/rz 350 did have oil injection.

but the oil pump was wacky so i switched to premix..

 

Did the same with my 70cc scooter / moppet or whatever you guys call em over there..

Removed the oil injection stuff, removed water pump and switched to a lightweight electrical waterpump.

 

Great improvement..

yea, my friend got a 02 blaster a lil ago, and first thing we did was put a oil blockoff in it, if it got clogged or didnt work properly your engine would fry and you wouldent know about it, i would never put it on a banshee!
