Thanks everyone for your kind inquires.
Yes the engine is a Ninja 250. Using an exhaust gas oxygen sensor & a laptop data acquisition system I was able to re-jet the carbs for max efficiency and driveability. Funny you should ask about the cops.
I was pulled over for speeding last week & after I told the officer it gets over 100mpg he "called for back up". Four squad cars showed up, several houses of neighbors came out and the whole thing turned into a spectacle. No ticket, everyone was genuinely interested in ecomodding!
