I bought a new 94 VX a few weeks ago and I'm getting acclimated to how it drives and what things need serviced on it, but I have been driving a few times around 65mph and cruising. I don't feel the "lean burn" plummet in power some people refer too, but I'm just presuming it's in lean burn, because I'll be cruising at 65mph and then out of nowhere, you can feel a pickup in power and it begins to accelerate faster than 65mpg...presumably falling out of lean burn and getting more power because of it. Is that typical of the VX to fall out of lean burn at such a low speed, or what would be the cause of that?...EGR issues? Excuse me for being stupid...I just noticed it yesterday while driving a distance and was curious how to keep it in lean burn at those speeds or even up to 75mph as I'm only at around 2100rpm or thereabouts at 65mph.
