Yeah it's a magna, Still pretty great.

I was looking at cafe sabres, Could be pretty sweet, Get something like Cbr triple clamps and the longer crf450r fork tubes, Custom made body work/seat, Rear sets.

Wonder how hard the carbs are to work on :lol: That's why it got parked best I remember.

I kinda want an R1200GS...

It's funny, I've never cared about adventure bikes, They seem like useless dirt bikes, but that boxer sound. :drool:

I just want to get good gas mileage because I'm now broke af :/

Something's gotta be wrong, You should be getting 35-40mpg easy, Unless I'm just stupid and the extra 150cc's makes that much of a difference. o.0

Meanwhile, I'm still on the same $2 I put in last Wednesday :mrgreen:

Yeah I get like 40ish. But still, I like to ride, so I ride a lot = more money in gas than I put in the teg in summer months lol!

Exaxtly! My sisters bf said he got 183 miles on his gy6 swap tank. Jeeeeez

If anyone needs parts. Motorcycle superstore is having a huge cyber Monday sale!

 

[94RS]

His speedometer must be ridiculously off. Rucks only hold right over a gallon, and the stock GET engine only does 100-110mpg. GY's get around 75-80mpg. I If I had to guess, my Lifan probably does about the same as a GY6.

 

[Accel.speed]

Would his stretched tires do that?

 

[94RS]

Only stretched in the rear. That one wouldn't matter. If the stock Speedo cable was used on that NCY wheel and the tire had a smaller profile than what comes on a stock Ruck, then that could be what's f***ing it up.

From the pics, this looked like what was on there:

Compare the tire size on the one you rode to OEM wheel, which is also 10":

Best thing to do to correct it would be a Trail Tech Vapor, or if the tach isn't needed, the Endurance 2 like I had. It comes with a magnetic pickup that you mount to the fork leg and a screw in magnet that replaces one of the rotor bolts with. Set the circumference of your tire and it should be accurate as hell.

I adjusted mine to match the GPS speed on my phone.
