Hi all!
Relatively new rider here and I just bought a Yamaha Radian YX600 1986. It runs great and have had no issues with it so far. However there is one quip with it so far.
As per the manual, this tank is supposed to get 5.4L/100KM on a 12 L tank. So you should get around ~200km per tank. I am only getting 80km. I'm not reving it or riding really aggressive.
The bike has 4 carburetors (in line 4) and the small plunger pins in all 4 carbs were stuck up when the choke was off (this however was rectified and they are all sat all the way in now when I ride; idle speed 1400~ revs). I don't mean to sound like a dumb new rider, I am just a little perplexed at the moment, any ideas?
One idea was to use carb cleaner and do that, but it seems unrealistic that it would get me another 50km's at least?
Thanks,
Alex Beckwith
