    Re: Fuel voodoo...

    Yesterday I got 150 miles of motorway at 75-80 consistently, before the light came on.

    I realise now that the 16t front sprocket Avuss fitted makes the bike rev higher at motorway speeds, so it's more thirsty than a normal setup would be.

    I may change that back to 17t when the chain needs to be changed, but that won't be in a while.

    It's indeed the price we pay for her kicking like a mule!



    JB
    '07 KTM 990 Adventure (Crash Bars, Scottoilter, 16t front sprocket, Throttle Cam. Colour: Black & Grey)
    '93 DR800 BIG (Fully farkled!)

    Gone but not forgotten:
    '04 Tiger (MRA-Vario screen, Crash bars, K&N Airfilter, dual headlamp upgrade. Colour: orange, 'cause I'm Dutch, innit!)
    '93 ZZR600

    I'm on the Safe House List! Garage and minor toolkit available...

    Fuel consumption as follows ..........

    Akraprovic cans and akraprovic fuel map - 40 MPG average
    Standard cans and standard fuel map - 50 mpg average
    Standard cans / map but with 16t front sprocket - 45 mpg.
    2011 Triumph Tiger 800 - "Black Pussy" - MMMM Nice !!!
    2000 Suzuki DRZ400S - "Ol' Yella" - very bright
    2011 Peugeot V-Clic 50cc - "Scoot" - It's my wife's, an enjoyable ride.

    I have a house , but I can't guarantee it's safe !!

    I hope not!! But I guess that would mean more fell runners stand a chance of surving in Wales if they decide to share the road with you!
    Thats an image burnt into my memory for ever seeing your KTM getting airborn and seeing a fell walkers life flash before him! Well handled son well handled!
