Poor Fuel Economy, Even After New Emulsion Tubes

[TYREDNGRUMPEE]

15.5 to 13.5 km/l or from 43.78 to 38.13 mpg.

 

 

 

Is that British gallons or American gallons you refer to when you say you're getting 38-43mpg ?

 

km/l can be directly converted to mpg Imp.

15.5 to 13.5 km/l = 70.3 to 61.3 km/Imp = 44.0 to 38.3 mpg Imp. 

Answer = British gallons.

 

My figures below represent 9K miles of use, 42K miles/carbs original, open pipes  (2" bore, bit smelly) and a fair bit of throttle twisting against smooth riding.

Guess I won't bother refurbing the carbs this year.

It's worth bearing in mind that the natural desire is that you would want your new figures to hit the high mark immediately and consistently.

Lots of people will always quote you the best figure they've seen and don't record a broad range of use.

Day to day, my mpg is anyones guess. From the spread below, you would come to the figures of 44-47 mpg Imp.

So get a proper main jet perhaps, valve clearances and balance as SR suggests?
