Signalés par plusieurs membres, les KTM GP ont un système d'injection en plus du carburateur.
Initialement destiné à lubrifier lors des rétrogradages, il se serait vite occupé aussi des hauts régimes...
Confirmé par l'usine:
"Radically different from the competition of mostly Aprilia and Derbi factory bikes with rotary valve intakes, the KTM FFR 125 features a reed valve intake with a very sophisticated carburation system that is backed by a small electronic fuel injection. The combination allows for a supremely precise engine set-up under all conditions, making the KTM FFR 125 very fast but also very safe to ride."
KTM’s 125 FRR features a unique and exclusive fuel injection system that is not designed to replace, but instead to work in conjunction with the carburettor. It allows fine tuning of the fuel supply and lubrication under extreme circumstances – such as over-revving whilst back-shifting with closed throttle – and it does it with unparalleled precision. The engine can be set up to run lean at any rev range and under any load, without the dangers of piston seizures.
With the right set-up, the KTM engine is not only very fast, but also strong in acceleration, with smooth, easily controllable power delivery. “Riders aren’t robots. And if the power kicks in too aggressively, they will feel a risk factor at the exit of each turn. It’s like shying at an abyss. They will open the throttle later and more cautiously, and inevitably lose time,” explains the Red Bull KTM 125 Team. “Therefore, we won’t stop working on our carburetion until our engines run like electric motors, with a very linear and predictable power curve.”
J'adore l'inventivité de Bartol et je cherche d'autres infos...
