Default Self setting record

Since iv'e owned the bike i was getting around 90-130 mpg to the tank. Everytime i fill up it takes 3.2 gallons. After i drilled the baffle for it to come out (not out yet) i filled her up. So far am pushing 178 miles with no warning light. Amazing how much gas you can save when you keep your wrist from twisting

90-130mpg to the tank? If it's 130mpg, then you're talking about 336-486 miles/tank (17L = 3.74G, 3.74*90, 3.74*130)? If that's the case, wow.....

Or did you mean 90-130 miles/tank? Hoping it's the second one, otherwise my bike is shagged!



PS for drilling the stock exhaust did you just do the 13" drill extension and drill around the baffle plate? How does it sound? I've been considering doing this for a while...

oops ment 90-130 to the tank, wish per gallon lol

If you havent drilled the holes for the baffle to come out do it! sooo much better. I bought a 10'' 1/4 drill bit and went to town. Then in some spots i was able to stick a 5/16 drill bit in. We're talking night and day difference. Even if you want to keep the baffle in with holes all around it seems just fine for me right now. I feel it sounds the best around 3-6k rpm, specially when the rpm's are falling thats why am saving gas lol. The best part is you wont be able to see the holes from behind the bike unless u really are looking for it. Noone would notice
