Default quad adr and smoke?

ok so ive been struggling with fuel mileage lately. today i upgraded my adr to the 2000 tune. i know that excessive smoke is a waste. I run on pl5 and im not getting any smoke at all. i dont start getting smoke till pl9 and im afraid to run that high for fear of destroying my clutch. is this normal that i dont have any smoke?

do you have the pulse
I am having trouble with the fuel milege to but i dont have the pules and I dont get any smoke on the 2000 tunes either but i dont run above pl 4-6 bec. of my tranny auto but I get a little on the beta tunes but only on heavy take off and just a little when it kicks into over drive and i give it gas and it is lugging a little I dont want alot of smoke but some would be nice when i want it to but i cant get but a haze outta it unless i am on the beta dyno tune sitting still revin it. you just cant drive with it hell i got more smoke with my stock lift pump and my hypertec max energy thats what i dont understand maybe the quads more affeciant maybe some one can answer both of our queastions

i dont even get a haze, but my mileage is horrible, like 14.5-15.5 and thats stayin out of the throttle. Is it possible that im not getting enough fuel and that could be killing me mileage? and is the 3000 tune streetable

the 3000 is streetable i use the first 3000 tune on the list on there web site and i havnt used the others but i do like the first down load on the list. As for milage i went from like 22mpg with my hyper tec max energy to like 17 with my quad i cant seem to get any better and the max milege aint worth ****

yea i know the mileage max is pointless. and i have a 5 speed so i would expect just a little better, but i cant even get 17...i had that with just and intake on it now with the exhaust and programmer it went down. maybe i need more fuel i have no idea im lost now

well try running the first beta tune and run it on like pl 5-6 and keep your foot outta it and see if that helps any i filled up yesterday and it seems to be helping me some im not sure yet but i do know that if you get into it you will see the fuel gauge move but from what people tell me more fuel the better milaege bec. the motor works less i dont understand it but see what happens

i just wish i had a full built tranny so i could run my quad to the max . I am researching trying to find the nv4500 trans swap but i cant find much on it such as price durability problems how easy whats involved but any how try the beta tunes it might help ya but touch that petal like its about to blow up
