In 2009, Harley-Davidson introduced the Road Glide with fuel injection. This marked a significant milestone for the company and its iconic motorcycle line as it was the first time that a touring model had been equipped with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI).
The move to fuel injection allowed for greater efficiency and performance from the engine, while also making it easier to adjust air/fuel mixtures in order to meet specific needs of riders. As a result, this opened up new possibilities for customizing engines in terms of horsepower and torque output. Riders now have more control over their ride experience than ever before.
Fuel injection also improved overall emissions levels on these motorcycles, reducing pollution caused by older carbureted models. This made them much more eco-friendly when compared to the previous generation of bikes and helped make them compliant with stricter environmental regulations around the world. Additionally, since there is no need for manual adjustment or tuning of carbs, maintenance costs are greatly reduced as well - another win-win situation!
Today’s Road Glides still feature ESPFI technology and continue to be popular among long distance riders due to their reliable operation across all weather conditions. The addition of fuel
