Miles per Gallon

[OB_BusaBuddy]

Yeah I know its a hotrod bike, but it can be ridden for great gas mileage. I'm still breaking mine in and have seen a low of 47.4 and a high of 54.9. I know its gonna go down after I finish the break in period. Anyone gotten higher mpg?

 

[OB_c_rod2000]

i think i got a lemon. the most i have ever seen was 30.1 mpg! i have tried every riding -throttle position, speed , etc. even if im doin like 2500 rpms at 50 it still wont read any higher. anyone else get this? the most ive got out of a tank was 120 miles or so. does that mean mine is a beast with the most horse stock or i just got shafted.(lol)

 

[Guest]

i've gone by the break in procedure an at 400 miles up to 6000rpm have only seen 42mpg

 

[OB_c_rod2000]

When I'm squidin' - 11.2k/liter

When I'm tourin' - 18.2k/liter

You figure out the conversion.. all I know is it's awesome!

Let's see, 246k's(154miles) to a tank when squidin' and 400k's(250miles) when I'm tourin'.

Average is 38 mpg during breakin. Have 861 miles now.

 

[OB_CuriousMike]

1300 miles on her now, and every tank full seems to be ~37MPG.
Running mid-grade fuel on a California spec bike.

 

[OB_LeeMI]

I'm getting around 43 mpg during break-in. I get around 125-150 miles per 1/2 tank of gas so I'm guessing the effective range of the tank is around 250-300 or so? Can anyone verify the range of the tank?

I've seen as low as 32 highest 50.0. It's like clockwork 5th gear 65-75 guaranteed 50.0, I thought it was broke until I came back into town. Oh yeah, running a full Muzzy, stock filter, no remapping YET..
It needs fuel, I'm sure mileage will go down the tubes after I get a PC2, everyone that has seems to anyway...

[OB_Bulldawg]

Yeah, I'm like a lot of you guys, I've only seen about 31 or 32 mpg tops. But you know what? Who gives a sh--?

 

[OB_BobB]

I average about 44 to 45 mpg at highway speeds of 70 mph to 85 mph.

 

[OB_realbusa]

I get about 41 to 43 MPG pretty consistantly. My fuel light comes on after about 4.4 gallons spent so I figure I should be good for about 220 miles.

 

[Guest]

Im lucky as hell to get 120 miles to a tankfull, usually more like a hundred.
I'm always stopping the festivities to fill up.

 

[OB_Johnnycheese]

Richie your fuel mileage will be off with a 42 rear unless you recalibrated the speedo.
It will read more MPG

 

[AQUADIOSMED]

I check my mileage every fill up, have 12,000 miles now.

DO NOT TRUST YOUR FUEL MILEAGE INDICATOR!

I FILLED UP. TOOK A TRIP. As I went along, I checked fule mileage, it said 44.7 mpg, figured I could go 260 miles.

WENT 242.2 MILES AND FILLED UP WITH 6.01 GALLONS INTO A 5.8 GALLON TANK!

Go figure.

My average is 38-44 mpg depending on riding style.

Completely stock with Akrapovic exhaust, pc-2, Prototype k & N filter.

TRUST YOUR CALCULATOR, NOT SUZUKI'S FUEL MILEAGE INDICATOR!!!

 

[OB_NumbNuts]

Unless you have yellow box, or some other speedo correcting device, all your mpg's mean nothing. My bike is 12% off on speedo,so if it works out ratio of fuel used to distance travelled........you figure it.
(with yellow box mpg will decrease )


Nuts and waiting for yellow box!

 

[Guest]

I have a 00 sliver and I've never gotten better than 30 mpg average.

 

[OB_Tangram]

Doing a gentle run at a steady 80-100mph up the motorway..... about 9-10 k/Ltr. Humping around town or looning it up, 5-7 m/Ltr.

Stupid bastard EU. what was wrong with gallons. My speedo's in miles my tacho's in liters per something, I guess its K's.

Pig-awful I know.... and I don't give a damn 'cos my baby, she moves me... damn fast!
