Fuel Management Selection Guide

Choosing the best fuel management system can be a confusing process. This article is designed to help you choose the best fuel management system for your needs.

The two most common questions we get are: Do I need a fuel management system? and Which fuel management system would be best for me? This article is designed to help answer those questions for you.

Do You Need a Fuel Management System?

There are many dealerships and shops out there that will tell you if you’re just doing slip-ons and not a high performance air filter that you can get away without having your bike tuned. While this may be the case, especially if your motorcycle has a catalytic converter in the head pipe, we always recommend having your bike properly tuned to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your engine and exhaust components. Anytime you change exhaust you’re changing the amount of back pressure seen by the engine, which in turn affects your Air / Fuel or A/F ratio required for complete combustion. Since the muffler section (the part replaced by slip-ons) is where the majority of the back pressure to the engine is generated (catalytic converters also generate a fair amount of back pressure when located in the head pipe) it is very important to make sure your engine is properly tuned. Later model bikes often have O2 sensors, and so many people think they do not need a fuel management system and that their bike will make adjustments itself. Unfortunately out of the factory most bikes still run in open-loop mode during idle and lower RPM levels meaning that they are still using the factory map on the bike’s ECU which is tuned for factory exhaust and only switches to closed loop mode after a certain throttle position. Motorcycle manufactures do this to ensure they pass EPA and other governmental regulations. For this reason motorcycle manufactures also typically program their bikes to run very lean in this RPM range which robs you of power and causes your bike to run hotter and this can be corrected with a proper tune.
