2 strokes and variator transmissions require a specialized approach to economy.

Dont believe half the above....

Big rear tyre good.

Heavier rollers will improve things slightly

Scooter cooling systems work 100% even when cold. A big problem for economy.

Torque tuning (mid range rpm) is preferred for economy.

The means keep the standard exhaust and air intake box, and go for a smaller main jet and drop(lower) the needle jet 1 notch, get a slightly colder plug. Your performance will decrease a lot doing this.



Forget the amsoil adverts, you are not racing, the cheap **** will do, but semi synthetic is best. Will not help FE really.

Sell and buy a Honda today 140mpg US or a Honda cub 170mpg.

My Yamaha Super Jog Next Zone does about 75mpg too, but it is the super fast GT model...

4 strokes are way better for FE...and cleaner
