Speedmaster 13 Speedmaster Carburetor Questions

Hello Again,

I've been trying to research a few things regarding my 13 Speedmaster. I'm coming up short on trusted information so I thought I might post here.

1) Why did they make an EFI and a carbureted Speedmaster for such a late year model (2013)?

2) What is the pro and con of carb vs. EFI? (I read more torque with carb?)

3) The last carburetor I had was on an 85 Honda Accord. What maintenance should I consider with the Speedmaster?

4) Is the airbox conversion kit applicable to a carbed Speedmaster?

Thanks, Everyone!

 

Thanks for the response Dozers Dad! Here are the pics. I also snapped a photo from my Haynes Triumph Speedmaster manual. It has a carb and EFI version listed for my Speedmaster. Plus there's a choke. So I'm confused at what is what.

 

Thanks for the reply half ton. I posted some side pics and a shot from the manual showing a carbed version and EFi version for the bike. I'm just trying to get this straight.

 

Thanks, Dozers Dad, Capt., Ken & Sprinter! I really appreciate the help and all the information. The choke was def throwing me off and the listing in my manual about a carb version. Dozers Dad - nice old Speedmaster!
