#36486 NIBS (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 81 Re:Gas Mileage 1 Year, 5 Months ago   Is it the jetting that is caused the decrease in fuel economy or is it the open pipes. BTW Bowhunter, what are those pipes you have.. they look great.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #36549 Big Bear (Moderator) All things in moderation! Moderator Posts: 4871 Re:Gas Mileage 1 Year, 5 Months ago   Actually , for me, the mods I've done (jetting,airbox,manifold,pipes) has helped increase my MPG's, and I'm not light wristed (but I'm not Ricky racer , either).BB   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #36564 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 11034 Re:Gas Mileage 1 Year, 5 Months ago   NIBS wrote: Is it the jetting that is caused the decrease in fuel economy or is it the open pipes. BTW Bowhunter, what are those pipes you have.. they look great. If you rejet accurately then your mileage should not change or it will increase. Most folks seem to re-jet on the rich side which decreases mileage. They also like to pump that throttle to listen to the new pipes.

So, Doc..... What are you getting out of that good looking machine of yours?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #36570 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 11034 Re:Gas Mileage 1 Year, 5 Months ago   I'm in the 40 - 45 mpg range but I know I'm rich in the idle circuit.

With all the SVS want it as lean as it will run well. I am expecting the other 2 DJ jets 185 and 180 to fill in the gap from the kit, so I can try going leaner on the main, but have not had any problems yet and it runs better than stock by far. The Pipes are Vance and Hines Powershots, took about 2 hours to put on including putting the tools away.
