Buried in the text is this: "Notes: KTM has a fuel-injected two-stroke engine in the works, but surprisingly they claim that they will release it as an offroad model before putting it on the motocross models. Because of environmental regulations, the enduro line must run cleaner than closed-course motocross machines, which is why KTM fuel-injected the 2012 450EXC, but not the 450SXF." __Besides the obvious: What is taking so long!? -- we might ask: Why now, or next year, or whatever? My guess is that when the OSSA Enduro with "fuel injection" gets to market, KTM (and others) will feel that they need something to compete. The fact that the OSSA will not have DFI, but something more like computer-controlled carburetion, may not matter. The guys who buy these things don't know the difference. So anything that can be called "fuel injection" will be seen as a big step forward, and a market advantage. __By the way, Frits Overmars, a Dutch, two-stroke engine designer, says that Yamaha has not given up on two-strokes -- they are working on a DFI engine. Actually, Yamaha has had DFI on their outboard engines, but it is an old-tech, high-pressure system. There are all sorts of "fuel injection", but only a few systems that do what two-strokes need. My fear is that the more common half-measures will lead people to believe that "fuel injection" will not fix the two-stroke's ills. The masses are too easily lead down a false path.
