    i ****ing give up.....32mpg no matter what

    i'm debating on dropping the motor and doing a rebuild, even though i don't want to do that

    only other thing i can think is maybe an air leak, causing extra fuel to be dumped in

    anybody have any thoughts?

    Just out of curiousity, have you tested your intake seals? It sounds to me like they may be leaking.

    Take starter fluid and spray around the intake seals with the bike running. If you're idle jumps up, you've got a leak.

    just to be clear, are you talking about where the intake connects to the throttle body, or where the throttle body connects to the cylinder, or both?

    i'm getting so tired of this bike.....i mean i love it, but trying to get it running at its peak is driving me crazy. now it seems like its lost 20% of its power. i have to rev the crap out of it from a stop to get it to go.....it feels like its in 2nd or 3rd gear from a stop (no, i always check and make sure i'm in 1st)
