#110600 cartersta (User) winter antifreeze, send jack daniels Gold Boarder Posts: 975 Re:New Pulley - New Belt? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   yep earl, savannah is far from everywhere since mine is a 1600 i guess it must be a 33 tooth pulley?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #110602 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1549 Re:New Pulley - New Belt? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Yep, that's where mine came from, a 1600. Someone swapped out their 33-tooth for a 31T or 32T, and I picked up the old one.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110605 bowhunter4265 (User) Detroiter by Birth Eastsider by the Grace of God Senior Boarder Posts: 354 Re:New Pulley - New Belt? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I hope you meant 44 mpg, I cruise along at that speed all the time, daily commute to work, and just filled up 181 miles 4.1 gallons of gas, heavy handed on the throttle...which is about my avg 44 mpg... and depending on your speedo calibration being correct you should be going farther than it reads with the new pulley and get a little better highway mpg.. guess thats why I would like a six speed with the R* lower the pulley to get more oomph off the line but give one more gear up top to cruise mpg wise on the open road..   Logged     Paul K&N, V&HPowershots   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110628 onefastbob (User) WARNING!...I can be Annoying!

Getting a gps corrected 37 mpg here.   Logged     My Image is NO longer illegal!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110711 hardone2get (User) Just ride would ya! Expert Boarder Posts: 530 Re:New Pulley - New Belt? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   See I want to go the opposite way. I pull a heavy trailer with my bike and I need a little more omph from the dead stop. That's why I was asking about Soba's old pulley. Danny   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #110736 Big Bear (Moderator) All things in moderation! Moderator Posts: 4747 Re:New Pulley - New Belt? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Danny , you'd probably be a good candidate for the 31 tooth front sprocket. I receive e-mails from Baron's routinely , offering 25% off orders , making that F/S reasonable. Just a thought.

No, I average about 42 mpg regular riding. Once I get above 70 mph, it drops drastically, especially when I'm run near 80 for 6 hours. Hope the 33T pulley helps that. Keep in mind I'm running straight stock airbox, factory jetting, with a windshield, weighing 260 lbs, on a bike fully loaded for traveling.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/20 21:29 By SobaCracka.   Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110742 Mark7 (User) Look for me on MSN chat if you want.

You and I only had jetting differences (besides my extra 70 lbs of weight ) and I usually get mid to high 40's on road trips , well packed! Oh well, every beast acts differently.
