Rise in fuel consumption

My bike used to do 120 - 130 kms on a fiver (NSR125) i changed the plug today but got a BR10ES instead of a BR9es and it runs a lot smoother, i just came racing down the road doing bout 70 , turned the corner for my street and it died, only done 104kms and its on reserve already.

Is it cause of the cooler running plug?

Its because your winding the throttle back more.

If i fill up and bollock the bike everywhere ill get about 50 - 55mpg

if i take it easy stay with traffic with the occasional burts of speed i get about 80mpg.

true

I have been hitting 70 - 75 at least 6 times today (in naughty areas) i slightly had too much to drink so bear with me.

I will take a picture of my front indicators when i got then done, they don't flash ,all i can hear is the relay making a crunching sound and a really dim orange light in both, if got two minis on the back and one small on the front, and then one BIG GAY INDICATOR on the left .. lol

I cant resist ragging it, but its rattling a lot in 4th at high revs and it keeps dropping out of 3rd into 2nd a few times, i think its too old for that stress

oh and you should have seen my burnout in the retail park!

There was me and a lad on a RS and my mate on his RX

It was like a fog out and it blew over to all the rudeboys in the mac ds car park filling up there Novas, they didn't like the smell, and that tyre its SOLID!

i'm sooey happy

LMAO

I killed a speedfight scooter in 14 months and it was a KU02 plate!

I'm going to get the top end rebuilt on this.

It doesn't accelerate past 76 - 78, just splutters and hesitates

It must be that you're not using the bike to it's full potential then. Everyone I've ridden with from BCF will tell you it can doo 100mph.

Back me up Scotty & Ant!

Hi

It should easily do more than you are getting out of it at the moment. However it is a sports 125, and you really do have to thrash them to the red line through the gears to get the best out of them. At 75 in top it hasn't even got to the power band really.

I would not have bothered fitting the 10 spark plug. Maybe if you are really thrashing the bike but you aren't. Maybe go for the colder plug if you are thrashing it down the motorways at high revs (is, cruising at 90+).

All the best

I'll back you up!

Mine did 100 if I tried.

Though if you do thrash it, it will use more petrol. It's the same with cars (/me remembers Gav's cute fuel consumption gaugeo n his BMW).

I just don't want to blow it up sounds awful doing 75 mark vibrating like a bitch but if you insist the bike likes that ill do it, just i don't feel safe cause i only been wearing shorts and t shirt or trousers and t shirt. Ill put some good jeans on (the worst things you can wear) but there stronger than trackie bottoms lol. I got a good buffalo jacket.

I take it to 10,000 revs thru 2nd 3rd 4th 5th etc but run out of road. you asking me to get done for speeding Razz

good fun anyway - another hot day again!

mine will hit 90 if i have a long enough road (about 30 miles,...lol) and a nice tail wind and loosing some weight and possibly duxking so i'm trying to hide behind the frigging clocks.

but it will do it. lol

Anna, Ant & Scotty,
Thanks for backing me up guys!

Tomas,
Bikes aint for riding around town, that's what scooters are for!
Get yourself on the A426 out of Rugby. Not a bad bit of road.

I'm not thrashing the poor thing death. Couple of burnouts dont do harm now and again ( only to that solid plastic rear tyre ).

I will look after it, im getting it serviced next week. Going to get a friend to respray it, get it all looking good.

Just not in the mood at the moment Rolling Eyes

LOL i need counselling or something Embarassed

Well it'll be different i'll give it that, but try to remember they are black panels you'll be respraying.

i'd probably get it done professionally to be honest.
