Just got back from my first ride with my newly Benderpiped (and clutched according to TURKs spec) MM700. It was about 20" of powder and we had a blast. 99% boondocking and rpms around 5-7000 for the most of the time. The track felt like it spinned some all the time (not much but some) and I only got 140 km before I totally went out of gas 250 meters from the truck... Had to get towed the last bit by a Po..... and that hurt my friends!
Before piping and clutching I would have gotten at least 200 km with the same riding and everything else.
Now I am curious about how much kilometers I can expect from a full tank (47 litres in mine). I was expecting that fuelconsumption would increase from my normal 1,8 litres/ 10 kilometers to maybe 2,2-2,5 litres/10 kilometers, but not to 3,3 litres/ 10 kilometers! Help me out now and let me know what you get.
I run the jetting as Bender says 0-3000 ft. Supercrisp on throttle above 3000 rpm, but a bit slow (runs fat) below that. What should I do to change that? Lower the needle 1 clip? Turn in the fuelscrew (1,5 out now)? Change pilot?

on another thread that is current, guys seem to be getting 10mpg (US) with a piped 700 triple. stock piped they seem to be getting mid to high teens for mpg.

if you are sure you are fat at idle then you replace the pilot. As I said in your other thread...check plugs to be sure or you can blow up. I figure 11mpg is what is acheivable with a trippled piped red head.

Thx for reminding me. I will check the plugs to be a 100% sure.
11mpg is that the same as 2,2 litres(liter)/10 kilometers? Just want to make sure that I have the conversions right.
I know that you get closer to the metric system inch by inch, but it takes forever for us who awaits you at the finish line. =)
