I see that alot of people have shimmed their rides and put the purple secondary spring in.
My question is, How has this effected you fuel consumption? My wife has a 2011 700 EPS with 26" zillas, and I’m running a 2014 700 EPS with the same tires and rims. I drive quite a bit harder than she does and I usually have atleast 1/4 tank of fuel left when she needs to ad fuel. My grizzly is easier on fuel than anyone other bike that I go biking with, except for one buddy who also drives a 2014 700 EPS.
I’m thinking of putting a 1 mm shim and the purple secondary shim on my bike ( just for a little more bottom end power), but I don’t want to burn alot more fuel because I frequently run over 100 miles when I go out and there’s not always the option of buying more fuel on the trail. Yes I do carry a 10 liter (2.5 gallon) fuel jug with me when I go.
I’m just curious whether this burns more fuel or not, because I used to have a Suzuki 700 Twin Peaks with 27" mud lites and when I put a Dalton Clutch kit in that (for over-sized tires) it made it about 30% harder on fuel.
