mpg sounds great actually, i think your right up there with the best that i ever heard out of these, best i could ever get was about 50. did you rejet? you are taking more air in and getting a lil more out so if you did not rejet you are def lean and should adjust to avoid any motor damage

20% difference Frank. Thats about 50MPG U.S. Gallons. I think Imperial is 1.2 U.S. Gallons. Something to do with the Brits don't measure stuff correctly  I have a 19T sprocket too and will never take it off.
I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
