MPG What are YOU getting?

[shredex]

another thing that I found out while I still have my carbs torn apart, is that Iv got a jet kit! whoa!!!!
no clue what stage it is though. and the ring is set on the highest part

how many notches and what size is your main jet?

five notches, and the main jet is the same size as the pilot....
I just found something else out about my carbs, one of the little brackets have broken off.
I dont know what it does....but Im sad now.
I circled it in red what broke off... Im going to JB weld it back on....

I average around 37mpg when romping on it to 55mpg when I ride like grandma.

Needless to say I usually get the 37mpg. .

Im not shitting you all but I get 58 miles to the gallon. Ive done the math 3 times this past summer.

this a joke???
highway miles???
geez

Not a joke. Ive checked it 3 times this year. I also have a larger fuel tank now with the swap. I dont know if that helps.

well, I cleaned my carbs, and got everything back together.
it took awhile for me to get the bike to start, but I got it going and had to siverly adjust the idle screw because it would just die.
it runs kinda shitty now. I dont know if its because I put the main jet back to its proper place and i need to sync the carbs, or if that broken bracket has anything to do with it.

im going to take the bike out for a spin to see how she rides...I hope all goes well.

[shredex]

just got back from riding.
it rides beautifully and I think I solved my "Keeping up" problem because my acceleration seems to have soared.

but for some reason I can only get the front up about 2 inches when I used to be able to get it up around 6-8....

oh well...my bike rides better than ever now.
and I believe that I have the Factory Pro 1.1 Ti Pro kit on my bike...

I get 34mpg here every time, not matter how I drive. I have new emulsion tubes from factory pro that will be going in this winter along with a flo commander and the ford coil pack conversion w/ iridium plugs. IT will be interesting to see what my MPG is after those upgrades.

I think this thread would be more useful if everyone told their mileage and their gearing.

For the record, I get high 50's transportation riding, mid 40's running for fun.

Stock gearing on a 96 FZR600.

I used to get 45mph city, 50mpg highway when I had the dead spot at 6.5k. Now, after cleaning and treating the K&N Drop-in filter, installing a new fuel filter, and putting one of the jets back in that had fallen out in the fuel bowl, it pulls like a beast. I regularly ride it to higher rpms now (feel the POWER!) and don't have any solid number on MPG now. I'm sure if I grandma'd it, I'd get the same mileage I was before.

1997 FZR600, 15f/50r 520 conversion, DID gold race chain. Slip-on Yoshimura RS-3 Carbon Fiber, Stock header, Ignition Advance, K&N Drop-in Filter, unknown if it has a jet kit or not (assuming stock carbs with possible "poor man's" stage 1).

unknown if it has a jet kit or not (assuming stock carbs with possible "poor man's" stage 1).

could be what I got, a factory pro thing ...look at signiture the factory pro version of the jet kit doesnt just have the needles and jets, its pretty much a rebuild kit and I personaly think its a nicer kit than the dynojet kit. but the dyno jet has 6 slots on the needle and the factory pro only has 5, so you get a finer tuning with the dynojet version.

[reelrazor]

You can get as fine a tuning as you want if you prowl the bins at your local hardware store. I use half millimeter thick nylon washers on my needles.

My needles are turned down stockers, I use (right now-cool fall weather) 4 washers (2.0mm) under the clips.

Need to mention that I was getting 58 per gallon before I went to a 520 14-47 gears.

I think your bigger tank will allow a higher Miles Per TANK (mpt) but wont effect your mpg at all.
that still amazes me what your getting.
my tank is pretty rusted out on the inside, I dont know if this would effect my mpg.
when I get the chance, im going to build my own tank, I would like to make one that will accept this style gas cap.


maybe do a new tank too. but Im looking for the cheapest way but most affective.

[abs929cbrrr]

old fzr for 60 a gallon in stock sprockets. 15-47 i got 50ish....

929rr gets 35 in normal riding, 30 in the city, and will only get 40mpg in 6th gear going the speed limit...what fun is that!

[shredex]

update, my gearing is 15/47...not 14/47.
I need a new rear sprocket also. anyone have a 47+ sprocket?
