the "ABC"s of fuel economy

[Anatar]

Greetings all-

please forgive me if this question has been posed before, but does anyone know if fuel economy is improved by riding on the "C" engine power setting?

Thanks!

I did some searching and came across a thread on this very subject (https://www.hayabusa.org/forums/?act=ST;f=77;t=97334;hl=). I would have searched first, but as it's my first day with the Hayabusa I couldn't resist the urge to go out riding some more.

Hi first post! I can tell a huge difference between A and C modes. On the highway riding I average between 45 and 50mpg switching to A mode seems to use alot more fuel. Ive never checked it but its horrible compared to C mode.

Fuel economy? It's all in your riding style. You can go into the "C" mode and ride it like you stole it, and have abysmal mileage, or ride conservatively in "A" mode and have phenomenal mileage.

Leave it in "A" mode, and ENJOY it.

I average 50 - 55 mpg on hwy and I've never had it out of "A"... weird

(that is running "close" to the speed limit

)

Maybe its because everytime im in A mode its pinned?? just a thought!!!

What you can change modes?

?

??? Mine didnt come with this mod. Where you guys get it?




Sorry for the sarcasm.

No matter what I do I get better mileage on my busa then I do in either of my other vehicles. As long as the mileage stays over 15mpg I am happy.

I was cruising 85-90 and averaged 48MPG on that tank.
