I've clocked close to 300 miles on the new Dr. Pulley sliders now. Enough miles to get a feel.
Yes Alex, fuel consumption increased some for the first tank, but then I got a better grip on how to work the throttle. It doesn't take much twist to get the same revs it seems. Now I am getting better mileage than at first, in fact, it seems about the same, around 50mpg. I know the scoot performs better, at least on acceleration and up to 75 or so.
My first impressions are that the scoot revs quicker, then when I reached cruising speed, rpms dropped back to around what they were with stock. The Dr. P. sliders really made a difference, and I had to adjust the amount of twist on the throttle for the scoot responds quite differently.
So far, I like them with this caveat; I'm not sure about passing power at interstate speeds. so far, I've been on roads that I am familar with between Austin & San Antonio. The scoot still has plenty of pull going up hill, and there are lots of them on the twisty bendy back roads around here in what' called the hill country. Great riding country.
