All 10- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! Terry LeakingLewis Let me jump in and ask a dumb question. How do you diagnose a failed thermostat and a failed thermostat switch? The thermostat should remain closed below 78-odd C, so during warm up there should be no…
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! I know, I know, I'm the worst OP ever. Grad college does take over your life. For those who responded, and continued the discussion, THANK YOU! Now, to resurrect this post for an update. Cause of Poor Mileage:…
- Sprocket Sizes - Decisions Decisions -1+3 originally. I learned the hard way however that aluminum sprockets should be outlawed. I'm installing a new 45T rear right now. I started hearing a clicking noise last week, and stopped to check out what it was. I…
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! O2 elimination is mandatory with the PCIII, as it takes over the fuel map. The map's probably not the problem either, it's a popular map, and nobody else is reporting mileage like this after using it. Also, I do keep it…

- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! So I filled up today, and am sitting at 22.5mpg. I've never gotten fantastic gas mileage out of my vfr, but this was the worst it's ever been! Most of my riding has been around town, and I've averaged around 28mpg and…
- Which heated grips for VFR? Oh, with these, I'd recommend installing a relay switch and fuse. It's mostly just a personal dislike for drained batteries, but with the viffers sketchy wiring issues....
- Which heated grips for VFR? I have a pair of these, and for the price, they're the second best investment in comfort I've made for my bike. The best is a set of frog togg toadz.
