Got done with some long distance testing and I found the odometer to be 6.3% high.
The Speedo is 15.5% high, yikes!
The downside is I was getting what I thought was 70mpg, but in reality with the odometer error its only 65.5mpg. Still good however...
Just figured I would share some data... I'm not a fan of inaccurate instrumentation.

Some Blur Stats
I rode with my Garmin last night and got the same results on my 2010 Blur 220i. Bike has 3k miles since Fool's Day 2011. I weigh 155 pounds with gear.
Top Speed on Flat Road (with and without the Windshield) = 71mph
Top Speed on Decline (with and without Windshield) = 75mph
Speedometer = 16% optimistic
Mileage = 6.7% optimistic
MPG = 65 BDU/gallon with hard acceleration and high speeds (I've gotten much higher mpg on the Blur with less aggressive scootin)
I'm wondering if these would change with 13.5 sliders and the DP HiT Clutch or if it would just chance acceleration and feel.

Re: Some Blur Stats
I have the 13.5 gram sliders, doesn't seem to change top speed much if at all. Someone makes a Clutch for the Blur? Can you send me a link?Rush wrote:I rode with my Garmin last night and got the same results on my 2010 Blur 220i. Bike has 3k miles since Fool's Day 2011. I weigh 155 pounds with gear.

I have also used 14 gram sliders and I think I prefer those a little better as the motor doesn't seem to rev so high all the time...

The clutch is discussed here -

It's not clear to me what the advantage is of the performance clutch... or if it worth $300 in parts + labor to install + possibly voiding the genuine warranty.

Hmmm, not too much info about a clutch there. So Buggy Parts sells them?Rush wrote:The clutch is discussed here -
