I just returned from an 800 mile trip, first biggie since the above carb configuration. The bike ran awesome!
If I didn't mention it already, the bike now idles about 13 AFR, sometimes a little higher, seldom less.
But get this...hammering the interstate the bike got more than 50 MPG! Not bad. And better yet, just cruising along the backroads, not twisting the throttle, depending upon conditions the bike got anywhere from 55 to 57 MPG!!
I'm way impressed.
With my current carb setup, my theory is at very light throttle (butterfly) opening, the carbs are metering more off the pilots (instead of the needles), than it did before the air-bleed mod, hence the improved economy.
How about that, a hot cammed performance-tuned motor with CV carbs that is capable of excellent mileage. Hot
d@mn!
