well, so far i only get around 30mpg--i accelerate; but i don't really race it all the time.
so far it's been like this for every fill-up (29-31mpg, for maybe 5 tanks).
so i'm really only getting like 140miles out of a tank before i fill-up.
and i usually fill up around 120 because the guy i bought it from said he removed the reserve tank when he got the jets installed (i don't know why?)
so does anyone else with a jetkit get this kinda low mpg? it seems really low compared to what i've seen.
also, has anyone else had their reserve tank taken out? or maybe he said he integrated it with the main tank? i actually don't remember, but anyone know the reasoning behind doing something like this?
thanks for any help increasing my mpg!

uhh removed the reserve tank???? in my 20 years of riding street bikes this is the 1st time iv heard that one. as far as your mpg/jet kit debacle you would need to take the carbs off and check them from top to bottom, kinda sounds like the float hight is to high, from the sounds of it i'd definatly get them checked out, removed the reserve tank
