So how has the mileage been lately with the new de-bored engine? Or has it been too cold to do much riding? it certainly has here. Will you have numbers before installing the smaller carb so you know what contribution each mod made?
Also, I recall you saying that you were going to add some weight to the new smaller pistons to keep everything in balance. Is that something that you will eventually remove, as well as rebalancing the crank at the same time, taking the same weight off the lobes on the far side? Or will it have to stay?
Last I was curious what your thoughts are about the CVT. Lots of people point to the inefficiency of the pinched belt as a source of loss, but they never couple it with the benefit of keeping the engine so close to its "sweet spot" for much of the time. The high mileage 250 Ninjas and Alert's Faired 125 Honda are all manual transmission, but many high mileage, small displacement stock scooters are CVT. Do you think the CVT on your Burgman is helping or hurting your mileage vs. a manual transmission?
Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work!
