On relativley flat ground I do very little P&G. I mostly run at a constant throatle. I Glide when ever I have to slow down or stop or when going down an incline. The problem as I see it is that the reduction in road load has moved the carb into a part of the fuel schedule that is not very well metered. In the stock condition this part of the fuel schedule is only used for a few seconds in each gear when accelerating. With the stream lining the carb ends up in this part of the fuel schedule for hours on end! I am trying to improve the situation as much as posible at the lowest cost. If money was not an issue there are a host of expensive and very effective solutions. I am going through the less expensive options until I eather solve the problem or find that it can not be solved with out lots of money.
The problem is not related to the vetter challenge conditions. The problems are related to the effects of stream lineing the bike... I have made radical changes to a bike that worked quit well as it came from Honda. These changes have effects on many other systems of the bike and all the resulting problems need a solution to get the full benefit of the original streamlining.
