Hello everyone, I seem to be getting really shitty gas mileage out of my bird lately ('97 with jetting+exhaust). It's running tits, but damned if i can get more that 120mi. out of a full tank (gas gauge at Empty only, not running with reserve light). What mi. are you guys getting?
-
I have to say that my xx is solid as a rock at all speeds. Of course i'm just comming off a '84 gpz750 Turbo. Now that bike take a little finagling in a high speed turn (you learn to expect/compensate though). In any case i love the way my xx handles (i have the racetech front and rear done though).
:wink:
-
I have a ZVMG (black/gold). No problems yet. I clean/lube it every 500mi though.
-
I have a DID Gold too. What a bi'ch it is getting that oil off (

Pete:
Thanks, I'll check it out. I've never seen such a dim dash (and lighting in general).
-
I think you right about the lighting on the xx. I can't see a damn thing. Even the instrument pannel is somewhat dim. I'm looking at upgrading my low-beam bulb from a 55w to a 100w. Hopefully that will do it.
I don't know about any aftermarket add-ons available. Anyone else install something custom?

I have the same problem. I'm about 220lbs and have very strong hands (having worked on motorcycles/cars since I was a kid). I never felt a screw that tight (why didn't they use hex's). I put all my strength into that damn screw pressing, twisting, and cursing... ( :fart: ) f'ng thing wouln't budge. So I broke out the WD-40, hosed down the bi'ch, and waited a while (cooling down with a beer). Back I went, pressing and twisting, and cursing... f'ng f'ng thing. No love. Now what? :cry:

I don't have much experience with the Avon's. I usually have used Metzlers. Has anyone used the Metzler ME3's or 4's?
-
I've always used Specto Golden 10-40 (synthetic) for my bikes. It's a little pricey, but never let me down.
Changed every 2,500mi.

Try maintaining a polished bike. More like an hour every time you ride.

I have the Racetech mod done to mine. It makes sound, but not a sweak, more like a "psht" sound. Kinda like an air compressor only hydraulic.
-
I does sound silly, but the Honda polish is terrific and works on everything.
Jet kit difference!

Ditto that... I'm interested in the specs too. My '97's (cal model) is jetted also. Slight hesitation at 16th throttle now though. Other than that it runs great!
