how does moving the secondary flies affect gas milage

my question is how does removing the secondary butterflies affect gas milage. One of the big reason I got rid of my 12r and bought the 14 was for the fuel economy. the extra power was just a bonus.

Gas mileage improves because you're riding in higher gears -- no need to ride in lower gears since you have all that much more power now at bottom end...I increased over 10% in mileage...

This has to be a joke, right? Someone wouldn't really spend thousands of dollars trading in a bike that is only a handful of years old just to save $20/week on gas.

Seems like if you ask FBA, he'll tell you pulling the plates adds five inches to your dick, as well.

I want a 6" dick . . . no, WAIT a 10" dick . . . UM a 17" dick, yeah a 17" dick as long as it's mine! Unlike Protein-Boy Tostito and his butt buddy Tony that just want to share one with each other.

Stalwart - What d'ya think about a ride soon? Maybe up to Leavenworth? Mount St. Helens? Hurricane Ridge? Guess I could always break out the DH - Washington book and just pick one.

Let me know!

Add horsepower. Add fuel. No way out according to E=MC2?
I never have been able to hold the trottle closed to do the higher gear thing.
Way too delicate an operation. Maybe impossible?

Any gain in horsepower performance normally requires additional fuel, therefore FBA you have been spending too much time frequenting doritofucks favourite websites and obviously your right wrist has gone limp. 10% better fuel economy probably comes from little more run in, or the ground has realised how ugly this bike is and the rolling resistance has decreased allow a lower coefficient of friction,etc,etc.


Bring it on

I bet he's getting better fuel economy by running in higher gears now that it has better low end power . . . just a guess. :P

Stalwart, he just doesn't get it huh? Even after I explained exactly why...fucking dumbass...I guess my wrist must be real limp, since all I get is about 35MPG highway average...yup, about as limp as his DICK... better yet...I like his post about the bike being so ugly, the drag coefficient is lower...

Droid, or can I call you DORK for short? -- 3 words for you...see if you can guess...

This is gettin' good now -- looks we might have a TONYTURDLICKER replacement here!

Fish, can you make a DORK emoticon? Or if I give you one, will you add it to the list of emoticons? We have a really good in-house graphic artist...usually, he does our sites and packaging, but I'll get him to make a good DORK emoticon...I'm sure it'll get lots of use 'round here...

Man! I have been pulling down on my fly, or "flies" as you call it... then pulling on my dick for the last 3 months reading this stuff. I kept agreeing that it felt better too!
Now you're saying to pull the plates on the bike?
I don't know how pulling the plates will give me an extra 5 inches when I've been diligently working "very hard" here the last 3 months!
OK, I pulled the plates last night. I can feel the "seat of the pants" difference, but there is no difference when I look down IN my pants!(?)
Can I keep pulling on my dick, or should I stop... being there is always one downside to any modification?

Who gives a crap about gas miliage??? If you wanted gas miliage you should have bought a Vespa. I do not know about the dick thing, but it, surely makes your balls twice as big. With the secondarys removed, this bike is as it should have been----perfact.
