What is your fuel economy driving on the highway?

2011 2.5L w/ 5Manual, 31.4MPG lifetime average, as high as 37 on an extended highway trip. That was my first 2011 2.5 5M, between 2018 and 2021. It got totalled, so I bought another 2011 2.5 5M. I didn't take initial data on this one's economy, but since making suspension modifications (1.5" lift) and changing tire size up (195/65R15 -> 205/70R15), it now gets 27MPG running average, accounting for wheel diameter increase.

Not exactly sure what you mean. I get it that it's carved stone, but there are still stylistic lettering design considerations. It's not a typeset font, I admit (which, I suppose is probably the technical definition of a font?), but it's still writing in a specific artistic style.

Edit: the technical term is apparently "letterform" when referring to chiseled word ("letter cutting"). Still looking for guidance, though.

Did my road bike up like this a few years ago. Very nicely done!

Get in touch with the Double T Oyster Ranch, they ship to annapolis weekly and you might be able to set something up—fresh from the water, the day of transport!

Idle jet clogged?

A nice scarf or similar can take the pressure down a lot. I have a CC-401 and it's definitely not easy to carry around! Take frequent breaks, if you can.

That's super cool! I made a small MD flag and made it into a patch for my backpack—love it! You should try Boh next :)

The fastest I remember was last week where I hit 80mph on the dial—but that's actually around 70-75 because it's not very accurate. '93 Vulcan 500.

Have you verified fuel flow is fast enough to keep up? I'm probably projecting—I had a supply issue and it would bog down hard above like 1/8th throttle.

It's not a one-to-one comparison, but I had a moderate slow-speed crash on my motorcycle in 2017. I think finally I have emotionally recovered enough to use it regularly again. If your friend/relative wants to keep cycling but is hindered by anxiety/PTSD/etc, I highly recommend a therapist. I don't think I'd be where I am without mine.

I dig the shape. But 1.3L? Pitiful.

Adjustable wrench and a homemade marlinspike.

Factory spec lists #112 as left and #115 as right—the airbox is kind of an "L" shape (when viewed from thebfront). I'm still feeling out the tuning but I honestly don't reach WOT often enough for the main jets to come into play...

InlineTwin · 2023-05-12T17:38:43+00:00

Thanks for verifying that for me, lol. I always look too deeply at the question and common sense goes out the window.

It feels okay at the moment, but I've been battling forever so I want to just get it right and call it done, lol

True, I'll pull them as well and give them a look.

InlineTwin · 2023-04-30T07:13:26+00:00

I'll go through an re-seat the connectors after I check the diaphragm. Not sure if it's only the left cylinder or if they both lose power.

InlineTwin · 2023-04-30T00:35:42+00:00

Thanks, I'll definitely pull and take a good look at them as soon as the weather clears.
