SwampNut Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 What's a fuel broquet? If your mileage went down after service, then they did something wrong. What did you have service, and how many miles/kilometers on your bike? Fuel mileage often improves after service, if your plugs were old, for example.

Pete in PA Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Ummmmm.................... :?: :?: :?: Don't have your Cousin put the throttle to the stop in neutral. :roll: :wink: I'm having a hard time with the miles to kilometers conversion. (actually just lazy) I don't know if that's good "kilometerage" or not. Your doing a great job with our language but what is a fuel broquet? If you just had a major serviceing they screwed something up. Take it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodeRash Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 215 km. is about 135 mi. Not real good mileage, but not uncommon for owners who have added jet kits or a power commander to their bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black black bird Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 hey also let meknow about the broquet heard it works but only for sensable speed as well as for lower octane petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86gn Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 If it isn't a problem with the tune-up and you are looking for mileage instead of low end punch you could try going 1 tooth larger on the countershaft sprocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spEEdfrEEk Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Yes, it's a charcoal product.. A "charcoal fuel broquet" TJ still wating for someone to tell us what a "fuel broquet" is....I think it's something sold by Kingsford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spEEdfrEEk Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Seems like the primary effect is octane enhancement.. As a result, I don't see how it would be that much more effective.. :cool: TJ :cool: http://www.broquet.com.sg/tis is e singapore website. do search ard e internet 4 websites fr other locations.

Pete in PA Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Save your money for something that really works. :roll: That looks like that fuel catalizer bull that is sold here. DOESN"T WORK! Run some Chevron Techron in your tank. cleans carbs and intake valves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madlap Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 This is wisdom at its best Just as an indication, I regularly hit reserve at 175 miles and once hit 195 miles while slowly riding with half a dozen other bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urloozn Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Last year I went to Deals Gap twice and got 185+ per tank all the way there. This is with huge saddlebags, a monster 'dry bag' on the seat and at no less that 85 mph the entire way. I tend to agree with you though. We didn't buy a XX for great fuel economy. These things will pass up everything BUT a gas station! :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pai Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 hmm....thx 4 making me wake up my idea. as long as its performs great, a bit of mileage more or less shd not matter. :grin: now i really do get e whole point. hehe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in PA Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Worn, squared off tires or just diff. tires then his bike. Too tight steering head bearings. (doubt it though) Diff. suspension setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMac Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I don't get anymore than 230km prior to hitting reserve. I used to get 250 and could run to empty at 270km. This was city driving too. I've had the bike since new and its unmodified. I originally found it quite a perplexing issue until I realised that I'd started riding with bag sitting on the tail. Take the bag off and the fuel economy improves - a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
