I'll see what numbers I pull this weekend. My manuel choke bracket broke my last time out on a trip and I got 13.5 MPG.
I'm guessing it being closed (maybe partial) for about 90 miles or so killed it. I didn't really notice it until we stopped to get extra gas. I came to a stop and she didn't want to stay on.
With 4.37 and 33" tires I averaged around 16MPG (un-corrected).
I'm hoping I get better then 13.5 ....If not well, I guess I have to look at my carb again.
Re-gearing makes a difference. Before 5th gear was useless. Using 4L was the normal gear to select for trail riding.
double L was for what I felt was harder obstacles.
with 5.29 I was able to use 5th gear again (highway). 4H actually works great for the beach, 4L is better and double L gives you a lot more time to negotiate obstacles while creeping along. of course I have dual stock cases and 36" tires.
I know your application differs then mine. I was just amazed the difference it makes.
