Yamaha Motor Philippines will introduce the FI – Future Innovation to install Fuel Injection system this coming September 8, 2012

As what we have heard from reliable source that this is one of the four growth strategies of Yamaha management plan which is strengthening product competitiveness, appeal and profitability in the ASEAN motorcycle market. This is to be accomplished by increasing the ratio of models featuring fuel injection system and increasing profitability through reducing the cost of fuel injection systems and the benefits of larger scale production.

Yamaha Technological Breakthrough to install FI 

Yamaha Philippines will install FI 

Why fuel injections (FI)? How is fuel injection (F.I.) different from a carburetor?

“It gives better starting and better engine response. Its benefit is that it gives the engine just the right amount of fuel regardless of changes in air temperature. A carburetor makes a mist of fuel droplets to send into the combustion chamber, but F.I. injects a fine spray of fuel under pressure. This spray is mixed with air and sent into the combustion chamber. In this process it is possible to control the amount and timing of the injection to increase combustion efficiency for better power development, better fuel economy plus cleaner exhaust emissions.”

The rumor heard was to install the FI in scooter type like Mio MX or in Vega Force. Not on Sniper MX?

Confirmed that it is a Mio Soul 115i. Suggested price is 78,000 pesos. Below are the specs:
