More efficiency

#1 Unread post by pakole »

How do you make a bike more efficient? Is there any general techniques or is it very model dependent?

Model dependent. If you futz around with the carbs and don't use an exhaust gas analyzer, you risk leaning out the mix too much and galling pistons/burning valve seats, etc.

Adjust the bike for optimal runnin. If you are after more efficiency, there are some nice scooters and 250cc bikes out there...
