Esto es lo que he descubierto sobre la 990 con inyección y la EPC:
"
The 990 motor uses a secondary throttle plate that is operated by a stepper motor controlled by the fuel injection brain. It's job is to smooth out airflow into the motor caused by abrupt operation of the throttle, i.e. your input to the throtttle grip.
So no matter how fast you open the throttle, the engine still has to wait for the computer controlled secondary throttle to open before it accelerates.
The EPC system on the 990 is integrated into the secondary throttle. If you look at the wiring diagram, you will see a 2nd/3rd gear input to the fuel injection unit. If you were to run the bike on a dyno, you would see no difference in horsepower, because the EPC just slightly reduces the rate of acceleration (how fast the throttle plate will open), but doesn't change the fact that you have requested wide open throttle.
You can remove the two wires from the 2nd/3rd gear switch (leave the neutral input connected), and then see what the difference is in acceleration. "
Resumiendo: Se trata de un sistema que controla la aceleración de la moto en segunda y tercera, y lo hace controlando la velocidad con que actúa el acelerador mediante la ECU. Parece ser que esta moto tiene dos aceleradores: el que gira el piloto y el que "gira" la ECU ... Joer la KTM se parece a un avión de caza de última generación, la moto no la llevas tú, ¡la lleva la ECU!
No creo que afecte a la fiabilidad mecánica.
