Thanks for the reply, now that the new chain in loosening up the economy is improving slightly. What is Marvel Mystery Oil? Do you know whats in it? Sounds like you have the bike running well, are the pipes original? I think my bike is running on the rich side, the pipes are black rather than grey where the exhaust exists, maybe this is part of the fuel consumption issue. Have considered new pipes ..... but its more $$. You´d be getting into spring soon and back on the bike, enjoy the riding season.
