jardine: gas guzzler?

[mikester]

since i put my jardine rt-5 pipe on, gas consuption has gone up.gas indicator lights up at 210km.iam averaging 7.9km per 100kms.specs. and reviews in canada say i should get about 300km or better.is it the pipe? hope not cause it sounds great.

Do you have an intake as well? If so do you have a Race ECM or ECMSpy to reflash your bike, for the changes?

You should be running on the lean side if not, my GF has a Jardine and gets great milage, with an intake and Race ECM.

My thoughts are you are just on the gas harder more often due to the love of the new notes being played from the bike [up]

all i have is the jardine and k&n air filter.thinking of getting TV3(terminal volacity 3) from terrys components. its supposed to give u up to 20% more hp and up 20% less fuel cunsumption.to good to be true?

I get about 48mpg with my Jardine. Ill let you convert that to kmpg.

20% sounds pretty optimistic....& $424.00 is alot to shell out. Check out just tuning your own ECM through Xopti. Xtreme may be on to something about your throttle position as well......
Cheers

that means i'm getting 29.8 mpg that isnt very good.sounds like i have a problem.[confused]

My CR gets 27mpg average on the read out... I ride her hard thou. Low Fuel light comes on around 105-115 miles after a fill up.

Any time you get an exhaust your mileage will go down cause you tend to go higher in the revs, or blimp the throttle more now that you have a new exhaust.
