What does everyone get for their MPG? I Finally (with the help of all you wonderful people) got my bike running. I fulled up today after putting about 100 miles on the bike. I calculated that I was only getting 32 MPG. Is this normal? I have read in other placed this bike should get more like 45-50 MPG. Any Ideas on how to tune the bike up to get better MPG? I have not synchronized the carbs while they were on the bike, but I did the bb method before I put them on. Also, the bike doesn't want to seem to go faster than 75 mph. I know I need a LOT more work on it, but I don't know where to start. Thank you for your help in advance.
I like rice. Rice is great if you're hungry and want 2000 of something.
