My fat butt

Post by Vossman »

Do you guys think rider weight affects jetting? Will a heavier rider cause a bike to run richer vs a small rider?

Not on jetting. More mass will however affect your acceleration and fuel efficiency. If you gained a LOT of weight it would make it harder for the bike, causing you to lug it more which might appear like its running richer I guess. The bigger impact will be on the suspension and it's ability to do its job.

Vossman - are you going to be ready for a bike ride here in the near future once this white stuff goes away? I was thinking Divide, Fountain, Captain Jacks, or RAM if you want to keep it real close. With no trade shows or other traveling for work in the foreseeable months, my schedule is pretty open. :cool:
