I came up with my Vee, a 4K with less than 2000 miles on it, a few weeks ago....it's like a new bike. Beautiful.
Spent time getting it cleaned up and running right....removed the secondary plates, balanced the throttle bodies, new plugs, got a Yosh box and went +1 on both cylinders in the idle circuit, +5 in Low, and +5 in Mid, 0 in High.
I've put about 500 miles on it in the past week and it runs great, idles great, pulls away smoothly with no stutters or stumbles. Crazy good.
But I was surprised when I figured out for the past three tanks of fuel I'm averageing 32 MPG!!! WTF? That can't be right, can it? I'm thinking my speedo is off or something....the mileage has been a mixture of highway and city. I'm not particularly hooliganish but I do like the throttle...:thumbup:...I try to keep the tach between 4-6.....I could stand to lose a couple of pounds but Im not too heavy.
I'm generally not a mileage guy. I'm going to ride a motorcycle even if it gets 10 MPG....my concern is whether or not the 32 MPG is a manifestation of some other problem.......
So just thought I'd throw this out to y'all and see if anyone has some insight to what's going on....
Thanks.
