Oh, I agree, a good cleaning costs so little and solves so much and potential
problems. I bought a 95 Kawasaki Vulcan this week. Had been sitting outside for
a couple of years but looked to have potential and had low miles. I cleaned the
cabs today. The gunk was in the gel stage but was already
True, but I was thinking since he is having mileage issues that a good
cleaning would only help things. And then he would at least know that it
was done properly. I hate chasing my tail with stuff like that, better to
know and strike it off the list of possibilities.

I think you should just clean the carbs for good measure, you only have two
of them. Certainly the PC that Graham had was running very lean, and I have
seen an increase in mileage before by fixing an overly lean condition. I
would think with the tupperware it would get higher mileage than a Shadow,

Two cylinders should be slightly more efficient than four, in terms of
thermodynamics.
Twins have a smaller surface area: volume ratio than fours of the same
displacement, which reduces the thermal losses of combustion.
They are also more likely to have larger valves, reducing pumping losses

Good question. I'm just surmising. If someone out there can shed some light on
the subject, it would be interesting

I don't really know, I just thought that this is one obvious difference
between the two. All that I know about cylinders is that for the same
displacement, 2 cylinders will obviously be bigger than 4, and I think this
tends to give you more torque at low rpm. But I don't know why this will
reduce m
Interesting point. Four cylinders are doing the same work as 2, each of the 4
had less work than 2. Does that makes sense?

Isn't the PC a 2 cylinder? Maybe that makes the difference?

Low forties on the Pacific Coast vs mid forties on the Nighthawk.

Yep, SE side. I just use regular, haven't really experienced any pinging. I
don't ride much if it's hotter than 95F though, which is pretty much the
entire month of August. It's cooling off now though, I got lost between
Kinefick and Splendora last weekend, it was awesome.

I use high octane in the summer because of high heat. Keeps it from pinging so
bad after a stop light.
Kyle, how about you. You live in Houston also?

I find that I get better gas mileage on my NH if I put 91 octane gas in it.
I did this when I went through desolate stretches on my trips out west to
add cruising range to the bike. When I was riding into bad headwinds for
hours heading west in California with my big Plexifairing III on the bike
