yes ,dan, the one with twice the power gets twice the mileage. low mileage is a 98 model.high mileage one is an 02 model. other than that , they are the same bike. the low mileage one has an inline fuel filter, the high one has oem filter. still think it is a sync problem? just jt

not v r specific,but motorcycles in general. does the oem fuel filter "calibrate" or restrict" the amount of fuel that is delivered to the carbs? if you replace the oem filter, with a larger bore "inline" filter,would that in turn reduce your gas mileage and power? this is about a kz1000. two like bikes, one has twice the power of the other,and twice the fuel effeciency. just wondering if the fuel filter might be the reason. just jt

Question for metalurgists and welders, Professional or amateur.
hipshot replied to fixit3546's topic in General Tech Talk
ok, you asked , so here it is. mig welding, uses gas and wire, to weld two pieces together. the two pieces are held together, only by the weld. mig on the other hand, is like "brazing". it litterally melts the two pieces together.by creating a puddle, and adding only enough "stick" to keep the puddle "alive", you infact, make one piece out of two. mig is slower, by far, than tig, but much more durable, and generally leaves a better looking "meld"! just jt -
To Swivel or Not to Swivel, That is the Question
hipshot replied to Mean Dog's topic in Trailer Talk
when i "stole" my bike, the trailer that i got with it, has a swivel hitch. i can't find a name of any kind on either the trailer,or the swivel. then again, i will probably never pull the durned trailer,with anything but my hands! lol just jt -

wolfie, i haven't checked, but i see no reason, that 12 volt brakes couldnt be incorporated into use ,with a luggage trailer. they are only electromagnetic brakes that "energise" when 12 volts are applied. you're welcome "redneck"! lol just jt
