So, I've managed to get 3 tanks of gas through my bike since I've gotten it back on the road. I've noticed a few things and I was wondering if it's normal, or if my bike still needs a little tweaking.
1) I'm getting just over 27mpg. This seems a bit low for the bike from what I've read on the forum, but then again, I do like to take off quickly, so maybe it's about right. Does 27mpg seem low to you guys?
2) At idle, it's not possible to slip the clutch and have the bike slowly take off, I always have to crack the throttle as I'm letting out the clutch, generally I'll have to get up to at least 1500rpm before letting out the clutch or I'll stall. Is this normal, or should it have more torque at low rpm?
3) power picks up pretty good at 2K rpm, and it's like a rocket from 3K up. I'm not even sure I've ever been able to use WOT, maybe perhaps for a few seconds on the freeway, but I don't remember hitting the stops before I had to slow down for traffic. Again, is this "normal" performance, or does it sound like I have a problem at the low end?
I've got a 750 final drive ordered. I'm hoping to improve the mpg, but I'm a little concerned with the low end performance. Not too worried, I can always swap back to the original drive.
New 4 - 2 exhaust on order too, without the crossover, does it impact low end, or top end?
