"Tried some engine off coasting this tank. Didn't seem to help much. We've had a good amount of rain so I haven't been riding it as much. So I've been wondering how much gas I loose having the bike sitting out in the sun (evaporation)." |

"Highest tank to date. I think I finally got the carbs cleaned out so I've been running lower idle RPMs(about 1100) as opposed to when it was having problems(about 1400). Also seems to do better at lower RPMs when cruising at 35mph so I started running a higher gear. Went from about 4500rpm at 35mph down to 3500rpm. Seems to have made a big difference." |

"Would have been higher. But this is my delayed getting the bike ready for winter tank. So after sitting for a couple of weeks with temps dropping to as low as 5F it needed a good 5-7min to warm up before I could take it to the gas station." |

"Tried a little engine off coasting this tank. Gotta be careful at night because the lights dim really bad after about 15-20secs. But it looks like it paid off because I beat my 40MPG's goal.
Weather this tank was hot in the 80's and 90's which I'm sure also helped." |
