A page or two ago we were talking around fuel economy.

The following screen grab off a 1200cc BWM R nineT .... dude says a 17litre tank = estimated rage of 240km ... my Fat Bob with a 1584cc comes in at 16 liters = estimated range of 250km with a heavy wrist in city conditions.

Hahaha, ja I had an odometer like that once.

Anyone else get out for a early ride this morning?

 

The weather was/is spectacular!

Simple Bru have upped their breakfast special

Flat White with "Loaded Bun" (Bacon, egg, fried onion on a made in store from scratch rooster koek) for R70.00.

It is worth every cent.

Not to mention the ample motorbike parking right next to the café

Any 2 stroke experts here? My Yz125 fouls plugs constantly along with my sisters yz85.  Both bikes run crisp and dont bog. ride them for 2 hours and they bog and foul the plugs.  Yz125 is at 40-1 yz85 is 36-1.  tried a 7 to 9 plug in both bikes. is it jetting or our riding style that causes it?  Never had to touch jetting so not sure whats the cause.

sorry dont know bike so this might sound stupid, do you mix your own petrol and oil for these or does the bike do it for you ?

Could be to much oil in the mix ? Usually the fuel:oil ratio stated is what the manufacturer deems correct for constant full throttle use.

we manually mix our own gas, My EC300 has oil injection but our yz's dont sadly.

The manual do recommends 32-1 for both bikes, ive always ran 40-1 and my sister does 36-1 since she lugs the bike more. if we run 32-1 the bikes bog like mad and sputter oil all over.

He wouldn't have stopped, with a Harley you never know if it will start again. Plus you might drop your tools......

And the last thing I want my neighbours to know is th at I know somebody who owns a Harley.
