Gaed, you Kaboom riders take bait better than tassle wearing Charley Harrison riders.

(similar click I'm guessing)
I like this fishing spot. Might slop some XR burly over the side, and wait for Oscar to bite too

I think you put the wrong gear in your speedo drive to make you think you were going quick

had the speedo checked and it was 1.7klms out at 100(it read 101.7 at 100)

as for 'passion the comradery' thats what motorcycling is to most of us

Dino.. My KTM and most of the ones I have ridden show around 6% margin of error there....100Kmh = 106Kmh on the speedo.... Must be the Europeans WANT to think they are going faster aye..

I only got 180km! to the red light out of my last tank on the 950 and I wasn't even fanging it, ~90km of commuting in slow traffic and ~90km 2 up motorway riding, which apart from one spirited pass was very sedate. At the gas station 18.5 litres went in after ~10km of the red light going.

Whats up with that?

This is the 2nd tank of gas since the fitting of a new factory air filter and and Uni pre-filter, and fitting of new exhaust gaskets at the mufflers as there weren't any fitted and the join was leaking slightly.
Given how filthy the factory filter was the bike should be running way leaner not richer.

I've never got below 250km before, which I got on the first tank after making the changes above.

So why the sudden change in economy?

I'll sell you a jet kit if you are interested as I have one in the garage.

So why the sudden change in economy?

If you put a prefilter on there it will run rich as without changing the jetting.

If you want to rejet it I have a kit I will sell if your interested. $200 including extra air jets not included with the factorypro kit.
