    Okay, my aerox is exhaust is blowing quite badly at the manifold and its using a ridiculous amount of fuel, less than 50mpg, do you think stopping it from blowing would fix this problem?

    thanks

    the amount of problems you are having with your aerox i would suggest selling it and getting another scoot

    It's not going to be helping at all and if it's a problem that you know is there surely you're best off fixing it anyway? But to answer your question, yes. It's making your fuel consumption worse.

    If it's blowing then it's possibly due to nuts rattling loose or exhaust gasket blown.
    Get a new gasket, do it up tight. See how it is after that.

    Im new to the forum but i have a sr50r LeoVince tt pritty much stock with the exception of the pipe, i get 60 give or take to the tank (5.2 litre) this goes up and down on how much i use full throttle, if i have to run to collage for example i can use 1/5 off the tank in a 15 min full throttle blast...
