I've been meaning to ask this for a week or two, and mickster prompted me to start a new thread... What kinda of gas mileage do you get with your Paso? I'm getting 31-32 mpg running 87-octane (USA regular fuel). The mods I have on the bike are dual Dellorto carb conversion with pod filters and Cobra F1 exhaust slipons with the stock 15/38 gearing. I'm hoping to tweak the carbs a little bit more to see if I can get better mileage. I was hoping for closer to 40 mpg. |

With 15/37 sprocket set-up, pipes, FIM chip on my 907 I get 52MPG on the highway and 47MPG in mixed riding on 87 octane. If I flog it hard in the twisties it will drop to 42MPG. I have found the sprocket set-up really helps. |

You guys running 87 octane, any timing changes required to do so? My bike runs so well that I hate to mess with it. |

I have been running 87 since I purchased the 907 in 1993. 30K miles later and 15 years I have had no fueling issues or timing problems, knock etc... |

45MPG regularly. You need to sort your carb jetting and if your just getting to ride her then maybe too much time hard on the throttle? :-) |
