  1. Sure 2 celsius is roughly 35 0r 35 farenheit 8 celsius is about 47 farenheit 21 celsius is about 70 farenheit. In the last few days our temp has warmed up quite a lot and my mileage has gotten significantly better and my choke is only on for a block or so after I get going. Mileage is about 38 last tankful so its looking better. I think I gotta take a ride out to Swift Current a couple of hours west of here, to get their warm weather and better mileage and cheaper gas, lol We are now 1.23 a liter for fuel (just under 5 bucks a gallon) this week.
  2. Ive an 85 VR with 38000 kms on it that Ive had on the road for about 3 weeks now. So far I am averaging about 28-30 kms after putting on about 800kms. I am thinking the biggest reason for my poor mileage is the weather Ive been riding in is usually 2 celisius to 8 celsius so ive needed some choke on quite a lot of the time. Today I was out and about for about 150 kms with the temp about 16 celsius and i was able to back the choke way off for the first time since owning the bike. Brian
  3. I was out and around town today it hit about 55f. Ive been riding this year since Mar16 my earliest year ever, hooray for global warming! atleast in this case....My first ride was about 32f and darn cold but it was just something that had to be done..(at least in my mind it had to be done, I am sure lots of ppl would differ at those temps, lol)
