Mornin’ Y’all, Doc here.
I have ‘09, bought it new with 3 miles on it. Now I’ve looked over previous posts on how many miles you can go before need in’ to get ‘go juice’. I’ve only gotten 26-32mpg before needing to fill up. Now hearing what y’all get get is UNSAT for me. I’ve removed the snorkel, tried different jetting-(thru the shop,FYI I’m a ‘Green Hospital Corpsman, not a mechanic’, and with prior injuries there’s not a lot I can do... I live in NV, at roughly 5,000 ft. Last set of jets were a stage 2 whatever that is, tech said at this altitude need to go back to stock, so we did. Runs worse than before! Mileage about the same. Tried 16 tooth sprocket but not much improvement. Oh, I have a FMF Power Core exhaust which didn’t do much other than the volume. Getting the stink eye from neighbors in the morning, and it’s harder to start in the AM! Takes forever and sometimes it starts so slow and loud that it sound like it’s gonna shoot the piston thru the case. After a few more tries it finally starts right and I’m good to go. Another related question, it’s done this with the exhaust, but on deceleration it pops super loud and non stop. Don’t know why but it’s consistent when riding and is driving me bat s... crazy! Also have a Uni air filter if that helps. Any ideas on these things? My fun meter is pegged out! Sorry for the novel, but wanted to provide all info. Y’all have a great day! Doc
