The caps are still on the mixture screws. It was late and I didn't remove them. Wondering why the idle would richen that much. I have always had to choke it when cold starting.

I also noticed something strange. Probably something stupid on my part. Ever since I bought the bike I have gotten 62-63 mpg my last tank was 86 mpg.

I am currently assuming I didn't reset the trip meter when I refuelled or something. I will check mileage again when I empty this tank and see if it's still different. A close to 30% change in fuel economy without any corresponding change in fuel, bike, or riding style just doesn't make sense. Hey, that's just about the time I noticed that the airbox wasn't properly connected to the carbs and reconnected it. Could it make that much difference?
