So look on the pad behind the clutch housing and read the numbers there. That is where the engine numbers are.

FYI, hot rod motors, even factory hot rod motors burn more fuel than mild mannered stockers.

Greetings:

Welcome! Our system of measurement is Miles per gallon over here. By that standard, you're getting something like 30MPG, which sounds a bit low, but may not be all that bad for a 2-Stroke high-performance engine. Tire pressures, carburetor jetting, peak RPM tuning and of course your right hand will all have their effect on fuel economy.

I suggest you check and see that the transmission is working correctly. Both wheels spinning freely?

Hi! i am having 26 mpg and the dio is completelly stock. as i havent checked it out , i think that maybe it could have a big cylinder on it allready, and that the jets havent been done right, but other than that its completely stock and it should have benn eating around 70 mpg

I agree 26MPG/9l./100Km sounds too low, but my Elite AF/16 at 86cc doesn't do much better. I have a 1200cc Harley-Davidson that gets significantly better mileage! (~50MPG) Bigger bores need wasteful jetting to stay cool and run high RPM = Gas-Guzzler.
