What kind of mileage do ya get?

"My best mileage is in town at 50mph in 6th gear, 36mpg.
Anything above 50mph and the mileage just gets worser and worser."

lol


I get MABEY 25 in town ,just cant stop the twisting action in throttle. Just a big show off. And funner too.
 
Here,Here... Brother on tha' twist ofa' grip.it's a rush and a half!!!I'm getting,60to70miles a tank!!! Later :)
 
My hubby is only getting 20mpg but its all in town driving. I think part of his problem is he will literally start his bike a dozen times a day just to play with it. He just got it last week so I can' understand, I guess.


What can he do to get better gas mielage?
 
I got 38.8mpg on my swap bike last tank. After a night at the drags that drops into the low 20's :laughing7:. The ZG1000 6th gear is sweet for highway cruising and mileage, but you have to be going above 70 if you want to keep the revs above 4k.

My zl1000 gets around 38 mpg as well
 
I am getting about 30mpg on my stock ZL900. Of course I run it pretty hard and none of its highway miles. Really cant imagine having a bike like this and NOT getting on it every time I have it out. Its a BLAST!
 
Stage 1 jet kit in my zl9, k&n air filter, 4deg. advancer, hollowed out stock pipes, 30mpg highway (80-85mph), 33mpg otherwise. I'm not babying it anytime.
 
With a ZL 600 B1 (my 1997) I normally get from 17 to 21 km/l.
But the bike I use has a "faulty" engine, was broken in an accident an resoldered, carburetors are in worst conditions, never treated...
Average fuel consumption of this bike should be 22 km/l (300 km with a full tank, that's what others owners here normally get).
 
not wort a sht!!! About 42 miles to the tank...before i had better look for a fuel station...50 and i had better pull over cause its EMPTY!!! Big 1039cc engine EATS the fuel with the heavy right hand!!!:headbang:
 
Mileage??? Does it matter? :biggrin:

If mileage is the criteria wouldn't we be riding 125 cc bikes?

:HappyFacePutt5K: I get about 200 hwy miles holding steady throttle around 60-65 mph, but I used to get close to 240-250 before the mods...In town about 170...I guess its a good thing that gas stations are like McDonalds (got one on every block) huh Madmann:laughing7:
 
I rode to Daytona Beach a week or so ago, steady cruising the whole trip between 75-85. ( I think I hit 100 once) I did the math when I filled up and I achieved just over 46mpg. :headbang:
I recently cleaned the carbs, but I need to BADLY rebuild them, and adjust the valves, and replace the timing tensioner. hopefully all within a week or two =/ But with that all said, I was very surprised I got such good mileage.
