I wish I could trash the EFI on my RX3's and run a carb! Far more tuning options not being locked into a mapping and less "funny habits". It doesn't matter how I change my RX3, it runs the same.
As you know Dan, all you have to do on the CG motor is change the pipe, breather and jetting and it's a whole new bike. I like that flexibility.

Oh I do completely. Unless that EFI is just a variation of the system used on the LXR250F and can self learn and adjust its tune. If it is a locket system, which is likely, I won't touch it. I have a feeling we will be seeing carb conversions before too long if that is the case too lol.

Your probably right. I noticed the Lifans EFI (X-Pect) version of the Hawk is rated for 107mpg compared to the 60-65mpg the carb version of the Hawk. But EFI system also keeps the A/F ratio almost perfect though out the entire throttle and rpm ranges which translates to better fuel economy.

The 'Hawk DLX' was on the 2019 EPA/DOT 'On-highway motorcycle' list when it was updated this month. It is street legal in 49 states (as usual--Californians need not apply!). Guessing they will be on the boat and here in the next few months. Oh, and the regular Hawk and Magician are on the most updated 2019 EPA list as 'Off-road motorcycles' for those seeking one of those.

Your can change to Carb on the RX3
Main loom and few parts and maybe a tank but not needed
I think Hawk should stay carb unless it’s the Jualing that was Delphi EFI and pretty nice but was the 6 speed OHC balanced motor
Carb just easier thi
