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.

Stock 35mm carb I do ride this bike agressive though I just can't help it.
But I do need more range.

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
