Done another 55 miles today on it,
one thing I always find hard when running a motor in is having somewhere to ride to, its hard just ridding aimlessly. So I decided to make a video of the different areas in and around Birmingham.
Did the city center, then just outside the center in the mainly Asian areas ( have to have faith your scooter wont breakdown in some areas lol ) then through the tunnels back in the center then out to the areas where the high rollers live and then out into the lanes to the north.
I'm editing the video now, the video will be s**t but at least recording it gave me destinations to aim for while doing running in miles. :)

Ill post it when its done!

Fuel economy is looking good on this tune, they normally use more fuel while running in! (45 MPG)
Video below shows the MPG during the first 35 miles, the jetting is set up very rich and its been running mostly well below the power so It looks like once its run in and running on the motorway in the power it wont use much fuel. One thing helping the MPG is that there is very little spit back from the carb mouth.

I think he did because I pulled over just after that to change the GoPro battery and told him it had run out before we got on the Aston Expressway, he looked a little miffed :lol:

It was nice to get out and about on the Lambrettas tbh during the closed season, the roads were slippy though :(
