My GF's sled is a hog on gas. If I don't go riding tomorrow, I'll pull the plugs a take a look. Her sled is bone stock, good belt and new this season NGK Irridiums. It runs great as well.
Now for the sake of discussion, if the plugs look rich (dark) and with the knowledge that she pretty much runs mostly around 6000 - 7000 RPMs would lowering the needdle one position be the right move? I've been out of working with powersports carbs for 10+ years.
Went out today and my 09 700 RMK used a 1/2 a tank with some hill climbs and off the trail excursions and her sled used 3/4 of a tank with staying on the trail most of the time. We rode for about a guesstimated 50 miles. I always forget to reset the trip meter.
