pros and cons of not running heated carbs on m1000

Who has messed around with this?

Im guessing u are referring to the heated throttle bodies? Im runnin twisted turbo, and the lines are disconnected from the throttle boddies and connect to the turbo instead. Have not had any issues, rode 3-4ft pow in -20C with no problems

Funny me! What kind of guy is running carbs on a M1000. That is the exact application I was wondering about. Thanks.

Pro:
?? You don't have to mess with unhooking and rehooking them up when you take them out (Not sure why you would take them out so often that this would be a selling point)

Con:
Butterflies can get condensation on them, closing the air gap, dropping your idle or can keep the butterfly plate open more with ice and make the sled super-hi idle or drive away.


Why are you thinking of disconnecting them?

dah....to save 3 ounces!
Just joking, it would be to cool a Garrett turbo.

LOL, silly me for not thinking of those 3 oz's! Oz's make pounds, ya know! lol

Why don't you put a "T" in the lines and just tap the water off, but still run it through the TB's?
