KTM TPI vs KTM TBI: The Key Differences Explained

KTM TPI vs KTM TBI What are the key differences between Transfer Port Injected and Throttle Body Injected on KTM cross country and enduro motorcycles?. If you're not familiar with fuel injection, it's a system that uses electronic controls to deliver fuel to the engine. Unlike traditional carburetor system, which use mechanical components. Each system has its advantages and disadvantages, so we can't say that KTM TPI is better than KTM TBI. If you want to know which KTM EXC or KTM XC-W with TPI or TBI to choose, this is the ideal video for you.

Well said! Love my TPI. „Better“ is relative. And some guys forget that it’s about the riding not about the bike.

[realkilju]

worrying about emissions on a dirt bike is the most stupid thing ever

[CoolEyeColorado]

Love my 2021 Husky TE250i (TPI). No issues at all. Amazing bike. Maintain and just have a long warm up time. But amazing bike!

[rigoneri]

So interesting to learn.
However I raced 125cc when I was on my 20s and had a blast!
Never even imagined to get to see this bikes today.
I own a 300 tpi and the moment I start questioning little things on the bike I remember that kid that was just happy to ride and race with that technology.
I am all about progress but I a choose to live thankful for what I have and where I am. And my bike is a big part of it.
Will I get a newer bike? Totally. But not because of the new tech, but because for me it makes sense financially.
Other than that I still walk to my garage every morning and smile at my tpi.
Blessings to all.

Does anyone actually have issues with the modern oil injection? Oil injection and EFI have been pretty much standard on Snowmobiles for a quarter century and no one is out here swapping them out to carb or premix. We routinely ride them 30+ miles out into the frozen wilderness here where an engine failure is much more dangerous than the same distance along most any single track dirt bike trail

The biggest advantage in TPI was fuel injection and low fuel consumption. But crabs makes riding more extreme because power delivery is in combination 0-1. My 2016 two stroke Husqy TE250 was consuming 11L per 100 km. It was much much more than modern TPI engine but Smart Carb or Lectron caburators are game changer. Thanks to them bike run smoother and don't waste fuel eny more. I saw many TPI users riding with pre-mixed fuel for safety. I am thinking of new enduro bike and I'm closer to buy carbed bike with smart Carb than new TBI, maybe thanks to you mate after I saw in one of your movies this Kymco parts in new KTM.

[JoshFryer]

Really liked how non biased you were. Thanks for the info!

[MichaelLee-vkfy]

I liked the info on the differences of tpi and tbi but you are wrong about ktm being the only ones pushing 2 stroke technology. Tm 2 stroke dirtbikes had electric power valve fuel injected 2 strokes years ago

Injection not does out perform carburetion in terms of performance (output). Its maintains stoichiometric precision better. Atomization of the fuel/air is better with carbs than fuel injection. Maybe this can change with injection technology but it isn't there yet. Because it maintains Stoichiometry better it is more efficient than regular carbs, but a Smart Carb or Lectron solves this issue. A perfectly set metered carb like the two above will be more efficient and outperform injection since atomization is better. Just food for though. TBI is awesome and is closer to carburetion.

[Kolsch]

Can’t beat my 18’ TE300. Add a lectron zero issues.

[Ariozo]

Few years ago i would say go Carb all the way, but these days after years with no Carb bikes i should say they work very solid and wouldn't go back. :)
The ones i love the most i my sons 125, started -23 and this year riding the -24 and even if i must mix oil on the 125:s they work very solid and nice.

[dankruger]

I think there is a place for both bikes. TPI and TBI

[iedyamin]

Ukellnim is something that will go after so long, depending on how hard they be pushed. Don't know if on these bikes but older one's are a lot better ride and feel. Different strokes for different blokes it be but I love my slim fast 2 stroke motocross bikes. They are the wildest dream bikes. Red and White you ride all night

[defconsupply]

have a 2023 TPI TW150 and just bought a 2024 TE150 TBI no comparrison the TBI is hands down smoother, hits harder and just runs clean everywhere

[markanderson]

I used a injection relocation kit mid compression head and ecu remap from two stroke performance for my 2022 tpi Husqvarna 300.wow best mod would highly recommend

[gcostanza]

Have you been able to work out why your new bike blew up yet?, be good to know what caused that.

[fatsubsonic]

my 2005 KTM300 is still going strong since new and i have never needed to touch the carby in 19years! Carby for the win!!! also saving 2.5kg :)

[numbzinger]

So, if I can buy a carbureted motorcycle, install a Smartcarb, ride it right away, AND not have to fuss with it wouldn't that be a win win win?

[damolux]

2018 ktm carb fed bike.
200 hrs.
Not one issue, not even a counter shaft seal.

[richarddanks]

I wonder if we can do both at the same time kind of like Ford in there 3.5 TwinTurbo motor
