Pegscraper - I meant shimming the needles, my mistake.
-
Ok, I called the dealership which did the work and asked them what I should expect of mpg, they said a drop of 4 to 5, but then a bit later the guy said one guy they no didn't experience a drop at all, still getting around 42. I did find out they didn't rejet, they shimmed the needle and adjusted the "air screw?" I think thats what he called it, well to adjust the mixture I guess. He told me to run some of that ring frre that Yamaha sells and see what that does. I did expect some of a drop and yes realize that at first I would be hard on the throttle, but this past weekend did baby it and it still seemed to be less then what they said I should expect. I love the pipes and the sound, but when going long distances it just doesn't pay, at least strating to think it doesn't. By the way, I do notice that the throttle response is much greater. As for the terrain, it was mostly flat county roads.

Ok, I put on different exhaust, Barons Double Nasty pipes, put on the K&N filters, had the dealer rejet and repin the carbs (said it had to be done). Have any of you done this and what did it do to your mpg? Just wondering if anybody else has done this or not. My mpg has dropped from 44 to around 32 I'm thinking. Guess I'm just wondering if something could be wrong or if this is just the price I pay for putting on different exaust? Thanks for the feedback.

I looked at the LA Choppers exhaust but ended up going with thr Barons double nasty exhaust. Has a nice deep throaty sound when idling but rapps good when getting on the throttle and tappers off when desired speed is reached. I can hear the music fine also. Just had this exhaust put on a couple weeks ago. I haven't checked my mpg yet, did have it re-jetted and put on the K&N filters. I'm hoping the mpg won't go down the tubes.
