yes you can ....as far as i know ...steve 83 has recently redid a EFI motor ...i am sure he will post here
opcorn: I wasn't aware they even offered EFI on an 87 model, thought EFI was dropped until it came out later on the 1500's. I was only aware of EFI on the 85 LTD and the 86 SEi models. Learn something new everyday. :smilie_happy:

If you do. DON'T use the fuel pump. You'll need one made for the carbs.

Can I ask why you want to dump the fuel injection? The carbs are great when they are spot on but are pretty high maintenance. I thought the EFI systems were much better.
I think he wants to buy a FI 1200 motor , not remove his current setup..But maybe i`m wrong.
The basic engine is the same, either EFI or carbureted. As slabghost stated, use the carb fuel pump!! You 'll also need to change the pulse generator under the timing belt covers, and plug the coolant tubes at the water pump cover and thermostat housing. There is no choke (enricher) cable on an EFI system. You won't need the cam position sensors, so you'll have an extra wire from that. The EFI engine also has an oil pressure sender, an oil pressure switch, and an oil temperature sender. Only the switch will be used on a carbureted bike, and it's mounted at the rear of the engine instead of on top, so that needs to be addressed.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming you're wanting to put an engine from an EFI bike into your '87, which is carbureted...

Don't trash the fuel injection parts. Some here may want them. You might even want to make that 87 injected.
My reading comprehension sucks, missed the original post by a mile :shock: :swoon: :blush: I'll be quite now. :wave:
We still love ya, Mike!
Thanks, I think "old timers" is knocking on my door.
