hello all
i just did a fuel consumption check and i am geting about 18-20 MPG
this sems a tad heavy considering it is a 2,3 alpina .i have checked all the usual things like leaks and so forth the CO is also spot on at idle.does anyone know of any common faults someone said the injectors are knackered but surely the CO would go through the roof please help me as its too cold to start using the bike :eek: and the fuel bill is getting a bit high :(

many thanks

You really need to check the CO/HC levels at different points of the rev range, as you dont drive around on idle.
