There were some Cali 1100s set up with carbs before FI became universal. So about 1996.
yeah, I might be addicted to brake fluid. But I can stop any time I want.

The 1990-1993 1000S used carburetors. PHM40N Dell'Ortos, I believe. Like the carbureted Cali, the 1000S has a Tonti frame...

On the 96 Cali you had a choice. 97s were injected only.

Only the early 1000S models used the 40mm carbs. The later ones used the 36 mm carbs and had the "world" engine.
