FINAL 164CC setup with testing results!

I dont think the 5-8 mph performance gain was worth $1500

How much is the adoring gaze of an old man worth to you? Would you put a price on hearing strangers stories about their youth when you have places to be?

Here is the second video! Fuel economy numbers galore!

"Maybe just a couple of drops spilled"

Bro that's enough to make 4 commutes that you just left on the roadway.

Yeah . . . Actually! At 111 mpg a couple drops . . .

I am a big fan of the CT125

If you want to spend a lot money for a little extra top speed thats ok with me

but I like the bike just as it is

Third video where I try to use as much fuel as I can. Be sure to subscribe!

interesting, similar to what i get w the 143, mines around 75mpg. and i'm def fatter than you. lol. good work.

I don't understand how he can be getting that kinda mpg with all those mods without running a bit lean.......

 

[dmonkey]

Was that just a single tank of fuel you calculated for in the video, or an average of multiple data points?

He also has a 1t bigger front sprocket. the 164 will let you get away w that.

This was a single tank for the actual calculation. I have, however, looked at gas mileage on a bunch of other tanks and they are right in the 70 to 73ish range. For the test tank, I was very careful to go to the exact same station/pump and also fill to the same level and procedure. This was probably as accurate as possible in my opinion.

Yes . . . This

75 WOT sure, but 111 putzing around........

The fuel level can look the same in the filler neck at different volumes. I've filled my CT125's tank to the nozzle blocking bar in the filler neck, splashed it side to side, and found a small amount of room to fill it back up to the same point again. On other motorcycles with a hung split tank design it makes a bigger difference which is where I learned it, lots of long stretches between gas stops in some areas.

he filled it on the centerstand. side stand i can see

 

[dmonkey]

I always fill mine on the center stand. Drop it from the stand, splash it around, put it back up on the stand and you'll likely find more space to fill. I wouldn't personally consider a fill level to be consistent or accurate as a single data point because of that. Not saying that over an average of more fill-ups you wouldn't come to around the same number.

 

[m in sc]

mines pretty darn consistent, i dont experience this phenomenon on the trail, ever. the cb1100 does this on the side stand but thats a totally different shaped tank.

I get this as well. There's a reason I generally don't do the slosh unless I'm about to immediately get on the bike and ride another 10'ish miles, but I don't remember what the reason was. Something like it affecting a filter of some sort. Whatever the reason, I only slosh for fill ups mid or start of ride, and I average my fuel consumption over 5 readouts. It probably doesn't hurt the bike to do it, but it doesn't hurt not to do it too.

75 WOT sure, but 111 putzing around........

45 mph and 60+mph is a huge difference from an energy required/fuel stand point. Air energy goes up by the square of velocity. At 60 mph it is roughly 178% of 45 mph. Other resistances such as rolling might go down comparatively at 60.
