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 ![]() |
