Hi



My de-restricted Honda NSR 125 V Reg, is only doing about 60 miles before i switch to reserve from a full tank costing £5 to fill up when i reach reserve. Is this normal? Do my carb settings need adjusting?





Thanks

I get around 80-100 miles on a fiver even when thrashing it on the A roads. I never get to the reserve. Are you using alot of 2-stroke oil aswell? Again, I hardly ever need to top up, maybe every 3-5 fill ups.

Hi

First thing to check is if the choke is stuck on.

All the best
