    Hi all, this is a bit of a daft one now,

    I have recently bought my first bike in the form of a 2007 speedfight 2, 50CC with a high compression kit, new cylinder head, piston, sports exhaust and new rollers (previous owner blew the engine!) Now I now that adding the sports gear will eat into economy a wee bit. BUT im getting at best 30MPG (No joke when you have a 1 gallon tank!) I have checked the fuel lines, and the tank its self for leaks, so any ideas here people??

    Lay off the throttle:D. The thing that hurts MPG most is riding style

    HAHA :D thats true, at the mo I have to keep her down to 30MPH, (or so said the mechanic who did the rebuilding of her!) for running in! if I was bombing around at 45 50MPH I can understand the lack of economy.. :(
