Finally looked at a CFI system and noticed the throttle bodies are heated! This would work riding powder and cold all the time to prevent icing problems. And noticed there is no shutoff valve, strange. Anyone install one off the head? Probably gain some mpg's by shutting the heat off when not needed. I'll bet all the CFI's would benefit from a shutoff valve, cooler carbs and air intake the better the power.
Doo's had heated carbs before, never looked at a newer one. Performance and fuel economy suffered when left on all the time. Shut it off and gained performance.
There's always something new to try, trying to convince a couple of my cousins to do this on there's. One an '07, other an '09, both 600's. CFI is supposed to get better fuel economy than carbs right? So Polaris advertises that since coming out with it, but I get way better mileage on a tank of gas then they do. 110-120 and they are out, I'm still going.
