With the weather improving in Belgium I could make some test kilometers on the Burgman.
Acceleration was slow, so I took out 2 of the 8 centrifugal weights of the CVT.
This helped a lot. I assume that by reducing my engine size from 385 to 297 cc was the main reason for the CVT to shift to fast to the higher ratio.
Last measurent of the FE comes at 80 MPG , best sofar with this Burgman project.
But still many things to come to make more improvement. At this moment I am visiting the Vetters in CA.
