Hi guys,

Im new to this forum, so hello

Dunno if this has been posted before but it is some VERY good news! This can only mean good things to the revival of 2 strokes!

For those of you who dont know BRP owns Evinrude outboards who produce the Etec range of outboard motors.

i heard about a fuel injected 2 stroke evinrude was going to manufacture that had all new port designs so it wouldnt let any gas out of the exhaust port, it seemed like a promising idea, by the way welcome to the forums, what do u ride?

Cheers.

They are called Etec's and have already been made and are fast becoming a very popular choice here in Australia. Just an example of how good they are on fuel- A local fisho got 131 kilometres out of 60 Litres on a 130HP ETec on a 5.4m fibreglass boat. Pretty impressive if you ask me!

For more information on them- http://www.evinrude.com/en-US/


I have only ever owned 2 stroke bikes. Dont think I will be ready for dark side anytime soon! I have a road registered Yz250wr. Basically a YZ250 which has bare essentials to get it rego'ed in australia. Feels pretty cool riding it down the road legally!
