    Hi
    I was hoping that someone out there has done a modification that reduces fuel consumption.
    If you think the modification worked, please let me know what it is that you did.
    I'm considering a bigger front sprocket.
    Thanks
    Armien

    Remember if you change 1 tooth on the front sprocket, you're going to loose some low end and off the line. 1 tooth for the front, is equal to about 3 in the back. Not sure what you get for milage? My 04 averages about 42-45, with in town and freeway mix. If all freeway, 45-50. I cruise between 5300-5600 rpm. Some open freeway runs, 6000 rpm. Also I keep my bike out of the 7k v-tec most of the time. Shifting gears around 4k. I'm fairly easy on the bike.
