    The MPG's went up since you hot-rodded the engine again??

    I might carry a fuel bottle this year... worked out a Quart bottle is about 10-15 miles on the Skunk depending on how it's ridden.

        I check my mileage now and then, last time I got 37.3 mpg (6.3L/100km) riding heavy with a passenger.
        When I first got this bike, with the stock 750, it hit reserve at 220km now its more like ~150km

            Good attitude Bill.

            When I used to hear other performance rotary enthusiasts grizzling about their fuel consumptions, I'd quip "you cant get V8 performance without the equivalent fuel consumption".

                Had a buddy that had a centrifugally supercharged 351 built for his 1990 mustang, replacing the stock 302. He was astounded when his MPG dropped significantly, and subsequently, would never romp on it for fear of lost mileage. What the hell else are you supposed to do with 400+ ft-lbs of torque at the wheels? Go to the grocery store?

                    Just a question here, Bill said he bent an oil ring and had to go buy a new set. How could you tell if you bent one if the cylinders are installed on all 4? Hard to turn over?
                    I am installing my 1170 kit now and was curious

                        Once the cylinder has cleared all four set of rings it should slide easily the rest of the way down. Then the motor should turn easily/smoothly at the crank.

                          I think I got them in right, not too hard to turn. The cylinder I got was not chamfered at all on the bottom, I had to take a grinding wheel to it, seconed try and they went in nice.
