Subject: Fuel consumption
Hi,
>The 97-98 Africa, also has a throttle position indicator and a different
>CDI unit. So theoreticly the difference can't be in those little tubes!!?
It's even worse: My girl friend's @ ('97) uses a little bit more fuel than
mine ('94 with carburetor modification), but this can be because she also
owns a CBR600 which needs more revs to be happy and it could be, that she
drives many times in third or forth gear, when I'm already in the fifth...
However, I still confirm my reducement of fuel consumption after the first
5000km with the modification, I now have changed the starting point for the
backward counting Tripcounter from 280 to 330km and still sometimes I reach
negative values before I have to switch to spare fuel.
Yesterday of course this did not work, I had to switch to spare fuel on
+50km. What happened? We were on the Nuerburgring Nordschleife and I made
three turns on old, worn out Michelin T63. My best turn was 11:00 minutes,
I think with good Enduro4 this could be improved to 10:30. ;-)) I liked it,
it was a spectacular ride. ;-)) ;-))
take care - Marcello.
