Hi Guys
I did a 1000 Klm s off road ride on 50/50 roads on a recently acquired XRV 750 bike.
The bike has 78000 on the clock and performed very well amongst the new bikes on the group
My fuel consumption over the trip was 5,78l/100I
Is that normal consumption as I noticed the newer bikes consumed far less.
On putting my fingure in the exhaust I did notice it was blackish
Does this mean the bike is over rich or should i leave as is
There was also a front puncture amongst the group where the BMW 800 did have a center stand
We were able to remove the front wheel and fit a new tube
If I were to have a puncture I would like to know?
Are used cente stands available or does that mean I have to carry a jack
Regards
Foxdog
