Quote:Would changing the jetting give me better economy?changing the jetting will alter the way the bike performs,
most bikes come jetted rich from the manufacturer, As most people spend most of the time on the needle,manufacturers of performance jets kits base their improvements mainly on the needle, Ie JDjetting. They have a red tipped needle for summer and a blue tipped needle for winter although in Aussie our temps and altitudes are usually not to the extremes of the US. However our fuel is basicly crapola and we have to adjust our jetting to suit.
You will probably get better fuel economy by altering your gearing and trying to ride a gear Higher. The 07 – 09 do appear to be fairly thirsty though and if you intend to ride longer distances a bigger tank would be a good investment

I can get around 80 to 90km for tight bush work before reserve. More open stuff with the 14 tooth front will get me about 110km before hitting reserve.Like TB said I do have a Safari 15.5 litre tank which to me is a good size, doesnt make the bike feel too big, but does suffer from front end dip when tank is full.
Yeah, that tank looks like a SuperTanker on the WR, but surprisingly it feels quite slim & normal when you ride the beast
A Good addition indeedNo worries, you can go pet the rabbits now :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
