Little help on troubleshooting poor fuel economy

And then there's riding style,

Great points

So often we forget or don't think of these..
I had a a chain with a couple tight/froze links..

Lets not forget the cheapest in my thoughts for gas mileage is front sprocket

If you want it and not concerned with performance go with a big front sprocket.. And if cheap is better .. It is for me .. That old chain with a $15 bigger tooth sprocket pays for a chain and new sprockets come spring ..

So often back when I did the jet kit and air box mod or pod mod only to see my mileage severely drop and little performance gains..

Save it in your pocket .. Swap it for a sprocket .. And rock it ..

Well, it's amazing what a rebuild can do.

I took 'em off the bike, gave them a bath in that carburetor dip stuff and installed new needles and
jets. I had to re-use the float needles as I found out the hard way that the ones in the kits were 2mm too short. That sucked.

ANYWAY, the bike runs so much better now. Sorry it took so long to update, I just move slowly on all things it seems.
