What's your MPG ?

[ThisEndUp]

Now that my FZR is up and running well ('been a year in mothballs), I was wondering what kind of MPG you guys are getting ....so I can compare to my somewhat stock set up.

I'd also be interested in what mods you've done.....'curious to see how it effects mileage.

[moochems]

No mods other than suspension and I get around 45 mpg with little highway travel, and a healthy use of the throttle.

I have about 17,000 on the clock btw.

[megaloxana]

Everyone post your odometer mileage too, im curious.

[fropleyquark]

I get right about 48mpg every tank. Heavy on the throttle. Only mod that would effect mileage is a Yoshimura slip on. about 8k miles on the motor.

I get 48 every time. With my 16t front sprocket I was getting 53, but I've changed sprockets since then. I've got about 32000 on the clock. and I do use heavy throttle.

[abs929cbrrr]

60mpg. if i ride in town or really hot dog it i get about 55mpg. i am 135lbs dressed. 36,000 miles stock gearing.

[haunter]

i am 135lbs dressed.

you a wee man or what?? I'm 5' 7" and I am ~165 lbs dressed most days


as for MPG I have no idea

[Modified96]

Generally 40-50. It matters on how much throttle I use. My odometer says 24,000, but it wasn't hooked up when I got it. It could have less, or it could have 1,000,000,000. All I know is it runs well.

16000 on the dial, jetted and yoshi slip-on. I'm not sure what kind of mileage I'm getting. My first full tank of the season was ~50, since then I've been seeing more like 35. However, I have been trying different fuel brands/grades. The 50mpg tank was 87 from BP, two tanks @35mpg were 91 from SA and BP, and the gf said my bike stank really bad when I was running that (octane too high, not burning fully?). Currently I'm running regular 87 from BP again to see if I get better mileage.

6'0" and probably 183 dressed.

[old_school]

i get about 45-50 MPG... 18k on the dial stock except for the V&H s2.. and my fat ass about 245..

[TomGun]

Last I checked, because I was curious to. I was getting more like 40 to 45 mpg (city). I have been running 93 Octane (Shell) lately, and I think the bike has been running better with it. I'm very (spirited) with the throttle.

I'm 6'2'' and about 210lbs dressed. Yoshi Slip-on K&N Filter.....Carbs are stock as far as I know. 23K on the clock

[M in KC]

Stock gearing, jetting, Miron Slip-on, 4,000 on the clock and my lard arse at 2 bills will usually get 50-54. My riding season offically starts Monday now that the kids our out of school.

[YAM93]

FZR600 - 50 MPG +/-

CBR954RR - 40 MPG +/- ...usually less.

The FZR is pretty great on gas, I have to give it credit. I thought fuel injection might be more efficient, but I guess it also has to do with engine size and squid factor.

[match417]

well, i ride less than a mile to work everyday, and that gives me about 36mpg, but on the freeway i get just below 51 mpg. I have individual air filters and a yoshimura exhaust. bike has 385## k miles

[ThisEndUp]

Very cool, thanks guys.

I'll have to check my mpg against what you all have given.

I've been using my fzr for commuting as my Aprilia does only about 30 mpg. I'm still a bit freaked out about filling my tank for $15. Not so long ago it was $5 to fill it....and I do at least 75 miles a day commuting...it adds up.
