Gearing makes a big difference too. What sprocket combo is on it?

None of us have gps. I'm pretty sure his bike is spot on. I sold my r1 last week and got this and our bikes used to indicate pretty much the same while pacing each other.

Ill check the gearing and see what I have when I get home. Is there a thread describing how to rejet these bikes and tune the carbs. I’ve played with Holley 4 barrel carbs on my old mustang but I don’t think I would even know where to start on a mikuni if that’s what it is. Also where would you go to get the main jets? So I’m definitely a bit short on mileage but I had always heard these thing getting 50 miles to the gallon easy. Is that an exaggeration?

Thanks,

Tom

Most everyone reports from 37mpg (me, and I'm running a 17/42, stock on most is 17/40. yours, a 04 seems to of had several gear sets stock) to like 41mpg... I wish I got 50mpg out of mine and still kept the same power!
