    No kit currently exists. Fuel injection is entirely a DYI proposition, and will take months (if not years) longer than rebuilding your carbs (which you can do yourself).

    IN THE CHURCH OF CLEAN


    If you really want FI there are several threads here; just search.
    FI alone won't make the bike faster, or run better.

    There just isn't the market for it yet. Maybe in a few years as more people start collecting the XJ series.

    Like what exactly?
    What is your procedure for getting the machine ready for storage?

    Sounds to me like the carbs are just past-due for a thorough servicing. Read that link I posted earlier.
