Re:MPG Woes 2 Years, 10 Months ago  
Before Curt gets my train of thought off on Texas sucession from the Union

I had a simular issue last month - You said the bike sounds harsher and rougher. My MPG was off and I had gone from 160 to 130 or so on a tank intown. I found the vacum hose off the intake port for the polution junk. I put it back -rode the bike about 12 miles felt better but not completely right. I decided to just go ahead and remove the air-injection mess and put the block off plates on that had been on the shelf for the last six months. What got my attention was the two tablspoons of condisation water that ran out of the chrome tubes when I pulled the rubber hoses loose. That should not be after a 12 mile warm up. Any way it cleared up the harsh issue and I am back up to the 160+ and 41 MPG on the big road.

Yes Curt I believe I have heard that from more Texans than ever before, I am with ya. We can produce our fuel very well sustainon our own .
