hey guys I get about 135 miles per gallon before the gas light turns on..

it averages about 35-38 MPG max..

I had an r1 that got 40-45 thats more HP and displacement..

I do ride 3 or 4th gear normally in the canyons about 9k -12k rpm.

Its not about saving gas.. I am just wondering if there might be something wrong..

My air filter is decent, it has a 2 bros slip on.. O and I did the jumper mod..

if this jumper mod is causing a drop in mpg I will take it out.. Lets face it I dont really need an extra 5 hp on the streets.. track yes..

any ideas??

I wish I got that. right now I get from 115 to 125 before the light comes on depending on how I am riding. I think I need to tone down the power commander map a little...

 

[LEMMON1]

im runnin the 2 bros slip on and no power commander and i have the factory jumper mod...i can get high 40s if i ride around in 6th alot

bpowa - Do you have a power commander?

 

[Ninjabadger4]

I have an 08 but the mpg should be similar, at easy riding i get around the same, the way i ride i usually get 30 mpg lol.

I'm averaging 27mpg. I think I must have a really rich map on my PC3. It's a custom map. I have an akra slip on, jumper mod and +2 in the rear. Licht comes on at like 102 miles.
edit. I do tend to ride rather harshly also though...

Ya, I think maybe the map is fine but I might have the accel pump settings to rich or something. Need to fiddle with that. Power is still good tho. Not too worried about what my mileage is right now tho, I am shopping for a second bike for street duty so I can make the 636 full time track duty. Might be an 05 R1 in my near future...

 

[NickySixx3Sixx]

I agree. The map is working great for me as of now. I would still like to get a dyno tune but for the time of NO MONEY...it'll do.

 

[J_Fuggin_T]

sounds about right to me, i get about 25-30 when i'm really getting it but if i'm crusing your talking maybe 35-38, hell i don't pay much attn i just ride the thing till the light comes on

 

[NickySixx3Sixx]

True lately. All I do is put 10 bux in whenever the light comes on. dont even care about mileage. Gets better than my car by far so its all good/. haha

 

[conesweeper]

I average about 30-42 mpg and was thinking something was wrong with my bike lol. I was expecting a little better.

 

[ahenson06]

earlier this yr i took a trip of a lil over 2hrs on the interstate avg speed prolly 75-80ish and i got 45mpg outta it......

 

[bpowa]

io guess I am ok.. just wierd that im getting more from a liter bike..

O and IB dont have a pwr commander..

If I did not buy the bike with a pipe I WOULD HAVE LEFT IT STOCK.

2 ROS LOOK COOL BUT ITS WAY TO LOUD.. ESPECIALLY AT 10 RPM.. WHERE i normally leave it at twisites.

 

[altec]

yeah mine is low...used to be like 36 stock....now like 26-28

 

[RacinJason44]

Last time I checked I got 58 mpg out of my bike. Neener neener

 

[TCW]

42ish in the 06... i got high 50's in my 2000 zx6r

that's funny. my last bike (98 zx9r) didn't have a low fuel light and i ended up running out of gas on the track a couple times. once in turn 1 at road america and again coming out of turn 3 at gingerman. i was able to get it running again by switching to my reserve, but that kind of riding made the switch VERY slow to respond. i hope the low fuel light on my new bike makes life easier for me at the track...
