Rick,
I can't imagine that jets, pilots, filter, shims etc would cause milage that bad. These bikes should get about 50-55 mpg from the factory. I'd be looking around the garage for that siphon hose. (By the way, nice bass, the Ricky)
Thanks Rick. Another bassist hey? The Ric has been my main player since I bought it in 2005. I bring some of my others along but I always wind up playing the Ric. Drop me a PM and we can talk gear.
Myself and others have said that about my mileage also. I'm going to drop some 125 mains in and see what happens. While I have the carbs off I'm going to look deeper for another possible cause. I have debaffled pipes and a stock air filter and air box. Maybe that is part of my problem. We'll see what happens. It runs so nice now though. But I can deal with the minor flat spot that I had when it was showroom stock if I can get some reasonable MPG.
I wondered why the frisbee was getting bigger......and then it hit me.
