Agree - no idea why DD is getting these figs. Update DD?
As with megage0ff above though wonder about general tuning of bike. As in my first post in this thread, I was getting only about 30mpg before Ricky at Haldane's gave the carbs a thorough going over, dropped the needles and checked the airfilter etc. Now its 50mph and more power.
Imagine above would explain it but you never know if previous owners have advanced the timing or messed with other things to "improve" performance ...
