Hey I'm thinking of building a CR5 dual sport and wondering if the fuel range will be a problem. What kind of mileage are you getting?

anyone tried a smaller carb or other mods to increase fuel range on long rides?

I've gone about 55 miles on 2.25 gallons a few times in different conditions.

Throw in some deep sand, or some extended hills, and its down to 40 miles or so.

On this years Mega Loop enduro, I came in close to 26 MPG. Thats a mix of super tight single track, a little wider single track, fire roads, dirt roads and pavement. I had the PJ installed running 52, 172, stock needle on the 4th
