Miles Per Gallon

Post by Spitfire »

Since yr 2000 I have had the pleasure to own several burgies and in 2005 was getting 80 - 85 mpg .Since the introduction of the "turned around engine" in 2007 my mpg has dropped to 75 - 78 mpg for the same general useage. I have no complaints at all about realiability and am enjoying riding still, having started at 16 on a "winged wheel" and still going at 74. All I can say is enjoy your you biking be it scooter or motorcycle. :lol:

Maybe what is usually described as a reverse Cylinder Head...

Re "Turned Round Engine"
In approx 2007 the revised engine was introduced with shim tappets and the dipstick replaced with a sight glass.Also the that the oil filter was accessed from the other side, and to comparing the new to the old gave an appearance of a "turned round engine " sorry if I confused the issue.
