Fuel mileage

Post by kdxtreme »

How are guys getting 50-70 miles on a tank. I cant get over 30 it seems. I'm running a 40 pilot and 152 main ,1173 needle in 3rd pos. Any ideas I dont want to pack gas for the upcoming enduro. Also our elevation range is from 0-2500 at this time of year.

Float adjusted good you have to lean it way over to get it to overflow.

Do you have the RB carb mod? I was able to get 70+ to a tank before but now after the mod it seems to get less. I still have to ride more before I can say for sure but from the first tank it seemed to go fast, but there was a LOT of playing and more WOT than I normally do. 30 miles to the tank does seem to be very very low tho.

How many hours on your top end? Is your KIPS working properly?

Kips seems to be working top end ? Thats probally gonna be due soon just from the way this thing is getting ridden I like pin it out its just so fun compared to my 300. The bike seems to have a lot of compression for a 200 though I'll check it out with the tester. Thanks
