Hi all,

I'm Ian from the UK, I used to write for the Twist and Go magazine.

I must have done every mod and had every problem on my MK1 burger, I'll let you know about them all soon.

Hi Ian,

Welcome from Vancouver Island, on the Westcoast of Canada! 8)

Hey Mupp - looking at your 'Av' picture it looks as if your burgervan has been heavily mod'd !!! When did you decide to bin the plastics?

Hi Ian

Good to have you and your experience onboard - welcome. :hello2:

I wait with baited breath about the mods - also interested on your view on my crap mpg figures surely it cannot be down to my driving style alone and what do you think of the mileage figures the guys in the States are getting - is it all down to FI or are they grannying the twistgrip?

Hi Norm or is it Ozzy?

Can't see much wrong with 60mpg, in standard set up (standard exhaust and variator) you should get between 40-80mpg depending on speed and terrain your riding in.
I managed 116 mpg while in Ireland the other year, 30 mph all day sight seeing with small throttle openings and that was 2 up. Blasting down the motorway at full throttle and the **** thing drinks the juice.
I get about 100 miles from a tank on the motorway, have you noticed how the last half a tank doesn't last as long as the first half?

Got to strip the engine down over xmas to replace a few gaskets as I have an oil leak
