MPG What are YOU getting?
I did some math and I found out that my bike gets me 22.5 regular mpg.
what is everyone else getting?
state any upgrades that might effect mpg. (jet kit/idividual filters/and as reelrazor said, gearing also.)

Re: MPG What are YOU getting?
Last time I kept track of it I was getting about 40 mpg. I would only get about 34 mpg if I went above 10k rpm more than once on a tank of gas though.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Re: MPG What are YOU getting?
went I pulled my carbs to clean them 2 months ago, they were spotless and I checked all the jets and all were clean.Dragon wrote:

I dont know if rebuilding the carbs and cleaning the carbs are two different things though

Re: MPG What are YOU getting?
Cleaning and rebuilding are different. Your emulsion tubes may be bad. Check out the carb section in the Wiki & Factory Pro's site.

Re: MPG What are YOU getting?
i get between 45-50 mpg, rebuild carbs, check valves, etc. you shouldn't be getting that bad of gas mileage, does it seem like its running ok? i wouldn't think so with that fuel mileage.
Re: MPG What are YOU getting?
I get upper 50's on point to point cruises.
Upper 40s low 50's when riding twisties.

Re: MPG What are YOU getting?
OK, I just removed my carbs and found that my jets in the first carb were reversed. The main jet was in the pilot, and the pilot was in the main.
I switched them back....hopefully it will help some.
I hope I dont have to sync them now that I switched them.
