Re: fuel economy
If its the early 16l tank model,then 95 to 100 miles is normal for the red light. It's not too bad mpg,it's just a small tank

Re: fuel economy
Do make sure the bike is upright when you fill it.
Also set the TPS.
Other than that just enjoy it!

Re: fuel economy
You'll wanna go 18/39 or something. That should increase the top speed to just below walking speedPete.L wrote:Umm!

Re the CCT issue, if my memory serves me well, providing you get an early enough model you'll be alright, as they had push rods, so no cam chain
