I'm no speed freak but did 100 miles of country twisties giving it a reasonable amount of throttle at the weekend and averaged 52.5 mpg. mpg plummets in town though.
Did my tubes on 52k miles and the needles were fine. Not heard of anyone finding thier needles were worn, except Catsbum who's needles had a very bizzare profile that made us think they might be aftermarket ones.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Hi Chris,You could be right about mine still running rich, I've now fitted a Laser Pro-Stock which may again make a slight difference. When I did my carbs I ended up using 3 sets !! and I can state with total honesty that the needles can/do wear. Also, if you look at the white slider that holds the tube you'll see that they also wear out, causing wear on the tubes.
I've got a pair of them bizzare profile needles, they look like a mini cam shaft. Well, they're stepped and made of steel. I'm gonna get back to my carbs soon and 'experiment'. I might see if a high perf. air filter would help. At the moment, I'm just enjoying having the bike running smooth !
