Fuel Injection

The manufacturer is claiming 20% less fuel and a 50% power gain, which i find to be a huge stretch of the imagination.

I have to agree with you that the carb on the hawk is gonna stay, I replaced mine with the mikuni and have no issues, I do some riding at higher elevations and a simple adjustment of the air mixture screw after its warmed up does the trick. I got the bike over the winter and didnt ride it very much in the cold weather so I will be retuning it this fall for the cold weather, right now im running a 125 main and 25 pilot the needle clip is in the center and the mixture screw is normally out 1 3/4 turns , the elevation here is around 400ft, some of the places I go in the mountains will get up to 1200ft with an average temp dip of about 10deg.
