On this years Mega Loop enduro, I came in close to 26 MPG. Thats a mix of super tight single track, a little wider single track, fire roads, dirt roads and pavement. I had the PJ installed running 52, 172, stock needle on the 4th

I've had some recent experience with the 38 AS, but the one I used was from a 97 KX250. I found the DGN needle not suitable for that particular carb. It did come with the proprietary Kaw triple taper needle, and I have yet to go back to testing it again. I have found that because of my riding style,...

What would you think.....

Of a guy that discovers his main squeeze has a scorched piston a week before a 4 day enduro, without hope of getting another in time, goes into his barn, finds an old .010 over, empties the butts and roaches(medical, of course!) out of it, hits it with some carb cleaner and puts a new set of rings o...

I find the US blokes much favoured DGN to not work for me. Pings under load, generally sucks, no matter what clip it's in. But I've found most US spec jetting just doesn't seem to work here in OZ. I learned that basic truth in the seventies when I worked at the Mikuni distributors here. I regularly...

Michigan Trail maps

For anyone who rides up here or planning to come here and ride, I've found an excellent mapbook put out by a gentleman who did alot map work for the CCC. The cost is $35, and they are top notch. The only drawback(if there could be one) is that you need to turn a bunch of pages to follow the MCCCT, a...

I tend to keep pretty good track of mileage, as when I'm able to ride, i do a lot of long distance trail. It is all in how you ride, gearing and jetting. Last yr on the 476 mile mega loop, my basically stock, 15/48 geared 01 returned an average of 28 MPG. It was a combination of mostly single track ...
