    Solved the mystery of my low mileage. I had thought it to be 33kmpl on a litre of petrol but the robbing petrol pump had filled less than 2 litres or less than 1.95 litres to be precise, for Rs.100.
    Went to another pump in a remote area. Filled it for Rs.50.22 ie. 1 litre exactly and by reserve to reserve method calculated the mileage to be about a whopping 54kmpl.

    I have an idea for petrol pumps. Try to fill in at a trusted nearby pump as possible. Also at the pumps where there are preset buttons in the pump for Rs50, 100 etc.. you can find that the fuel comes through the hose very quickly. Such pumps will offer LESS fuel than for the required rate. AVoid such pumps.
    Go to pumps at remote places and slower the rate of fuel flow from nozzle to tank, more will be the fuel.
    Dude you are getting a terrific mileage? what you have got done in your bike?? your bike suffers from all the performance or what?

                I have recently retuned my carb by adjusting the air fuel mixture screw (No rejetting done) I best guess is the mixture was was toooo rich previously.

                I am yet to calculate the new mileage after retuning, but curiosity took over me and I checked the spark plug and found this ...

                How bad is it ? Is it too burnt for a bike which has run 2300Kms only ?


                Here is another pic :




                Please let me know about all your thoughts...
                the a/f mixture screw in the carb is effective only for idle till 2k rpm .
                not for all the rpm range ,
                next your spark plug shows that u are already running very lean,ideal color is khaki
