My engine is Picco 5TR team spec with 2099 pipe (smoothest from all picco pipes).
Already ordered new clutchbell, and gonna make some experiments with old one.
3 - 4 gal is very unrealistic. If I get a gallon out of a set of shoes I am happy. I think your wear looks normal.. actually they don't looks very worn at all. Are you running on a high bite track? Do you have a heavy throttle finger?
