diifrence in gearing between years and models

[Guest]

Your L will turn a couple hundred RPM higher than a G because it runs a 16 in rear tire, the later GK run a 16 inch wheel also but have a higher geared final drive 2.91 instead of the more common 3.09

Tutorial available on Cliff's website. Factory service manual also has instructions.

About the same way you do anything else on your bike.

Go to BassCliff's "little" website.

About 2/3 down the left column, you will see Carb Notes.

Open that, then look about 1/4 down the page, you will see a section called Morgan Colortune/Carbtune Tips.
In there, you will see how to Synchronize Carbuetors.

Feel free to follow all the steps given or just play lazy and click on the links I gave you.

If you want to be as lazy as possible, just click on the last one.

So hey I changed my gear oil in my secondary drive and my final drive and rode 2 up with my wife all weekend and I averaged abot 37mpg that's a little better without a carb sync

I do not have much idea how clutch plates work, but have wondered if there is a way to add a 6th gear to these bikes? mine is a gs1000e.

Clutch plates have nothing to do with it, and no, you can not add a sixth gear.

Well I'm only averaging about 33 mpg so idk what's the deal the bike sounds great and runs great but has a vance and Hines headers and exhaust and also has a k and n air filter

Hope you rejetted, if not you are probably running a bit lean with that set up. What is the color of the pipes at the head? When is the last time the valves have been adjusted?

[Charger739]

Slight blueing on outside 2 and also never adjusted valves
