A Hawaiian rider over in the ThumperTalk Beta forum has installed a Lectron on his Xtrainer, but he had to disable the electronic oil injection (EOI) system to do it. Lectron doesn't currently have ability to attach a TPS to their carb, which is required for EOI to operate.
I inquired about this with Lectron last week and was told that a TPS-friendly version of their carb is in the works but is still at least 3 to 4 months away. I'm currently planning to spend those months getting a feel for how the stock carb works at elevation. I know of at least 3 experienced Beta riders who work at my local dealership who say they don't mess with jetting or mixture settings to compensate for elevation or temperature changes.
Beta sells a EOI removal kit for $150 for those willing to forgo EOI for a non-TPS version of Lectron.
