Full streamlining is the plan, but other mods coming first so I don't have to keep removing the bodywork. Those include exhaust mods (while trying to retain the quietest exhaust possible) and intake mods, which is going to be a conversion from dual carb to single carb.
The bike will also be put on a diet! (So I won't have to, of course.)

Wow! That is a major commitment. Might as well add a long intake runner as well. Too bad we can't get someone to design a fuel economy cam for the Ninjette since there are literally thousands of them around being sold really cheap.

From what I've read the 1st gen had a 'too' long runner anyway, but will have to see how much room I have. Going with an FCR, not sure what size but it will be around what is stock (30mm).
Upon putting an FCR on my KLX my mileage went from 38-52 mpg, power came up dramatically and throttle response is mental, and this was with the FCR being too rich...
Have since tuned that one to give economy at small throttle and big power when you NEED it.
I think the increase in intake velocity/volume with going to a single carb will net a pretty good gain in mpg and torque at the same time, although I am pretty sure a set of dual FCR's would do the same, but the single seems more logical for keeping intake velocity high at lower revs.

Saw that FI kit the other day but I like simple. Give me gravity feed petcock and a slide carb any day.
On another note, I changed the oil out today and installed an oil temp gauge. Took out the Amsoil 10w40 and put in Delvac 15w40. Shifting is MUCH better!
Oil temps got up to 183F and stabilized there. Was thinking of Rotella 10w30 but might install an oil pressure gauge first just to make sure. Manual specifies 50 psi at 4k rpm's.
Never thought I could like a small bike so much!
