So after a few repairs and adjustments, i'm not getting great fuel consumption. Now this could be a number of things, if you guys could just double my thinking on this? I ride a fair mix of high speed and slow, so it's a very all round average figure.
From the start i was getting 22km/L, as measured each time i filled up. So if i got 260km on the clock, i'd fill up with say just under 13 L. Now i get (this morning) 240 km, but 14 L.
It could be a few things:
1. Sprocket: have a -2 back sprocket fitted, so COULD be under reading milage, ie no problem.
2. I'm getting popping at low revs when coasting, here's my clue it's fuel related. Just light popping, nothing much.
3. Idling is set low, throttle 100% accurate, and engine is running smoothly.
4. Almost imperceptable drag on the bike when releasing throttle, very slight, could just be me.
SO of the various thoughts, the CO is the easiest to adjust, they're both on 0 right now. What i don't know is how to judge whether to increase or decrease?
