Due to the events of last weekend, I hastily decided to stick my baffle back in the Scorpion.
Firstly, I
hated the way it sounded. At tick-over it sounded like a hair dryer. I wouldn't of minded if it was a jumped up hair dryer, but it wasn't even that! When it was running, especially at speed, I couldn't here it.
In fact, I almost cried on Sunday when I could hear petevtwin's bike BEHIND me.
I did get some kind comments from one of the guys on Saturday, but that was because it pops & bangs, which is down to air leaks.
So Sunday afternoon, the baffle feel out again. The results of the fuel tests are now in, thanks to Monday being sunny (and it would be rude to not go to Ponderosa in the sun!).
With the baffle in, I repeatedly got around 115miles to a full tank before the flashing light. With the baffle out, on exactly the same run, at roughly the same pace (so the only thing that's changed is the baffle), I got 138miles before a flashing light. I even filled the tank at the same petrol station!!
