after bit of testing worked out i get 9.33 miles to the ltr and 111.96 from full 12ltr tank this is on a rb22 and was wondering what others get to compare if this is good bad or average p.s this was town riding so would expect more on long motorway rides

I get between 24-26 mpg on my TS1 230 ;)
I do not try to explain why I ride Lambrettas,
For those who understand, no explanation is necessary,
For those who don't, no explantion is possible.

What setup are you running rbgaz? I get nearer to 7 with mikuni and nk. Its great for long distance runs but a bit of a shock when I fill up the 17l tank!!

Tv 175 s3 standard besides Gori Sport:

6.23 l / 100 km => 16 km / litre equals almost 115 km between pitstops...

But I only run full open throttle, same consumption in London as on A roads...

Cheers rbgaz. I suspect I may have a problem with the choke not sealing properly on the tmx. Its a real pig to set up the midrange.
