Full Muzzy
Removed air box lid
Jetting 132 and 40
13-45 gears

Lots of stickers which add tons of power.

 

If you gain power then you lose efficiency. But who cares, the look on your face will make up for any drop in mileage. Oh and you can just carry these like I do. It makes up the difference.

2 in the camelbak, and 2 in the pelican case.


And for the extended highway trips, you could order a set of these.....no forget it these are priceless.


Besides...how dangerous could it be?.....

 

BGB I usually ride mostly on rocky hard packed forest roads with just enough street to get me there. When the bike was totally stock I was getting 72 mpg on the street. Now I have Pirelli MT-21's, 13 tooth C/S sprocket, air box snorkel removed, 122 main jet,N1TC needle, and the idle mixture screw at 2.5 turns out from fully seated. If I just cruize it down the street I still get about 65 mpg. Out in the woods on the gas I'm getting about 58 mpg. Deej thats funny hope that never really happens.

 

I think you can get 100mpg if you ride about 35 miles per hour in top gear, pump your tires to 40psi and coast all the downhills. My bike with a Muzzy and slightly richer than stock jetting gets about 62 mpg riding full idiot mode on the street. With my Acerbis that's over 200 miles on a tank, I have seen 220 but panicked and got gas before I ran out. An exhaust system could save you some mpg due to efficiency but all the other mods that get more power are due to burning more gas faster. I want tank range more than mpg but the two go hand in hand. I wouldn't put a 350 cc kit and a pumper carb and expect to improve mpg.

 

I have gotten 100+mpg with Dunlop 606's at 20PSI riding normally (not aggressively) on the street doing mainly 45 to 50MPH. My motorcycle has the free mods and a 125 factory main jet. The bigger jet does make it start easier IMHO.

 

Well than congrats Sid, you are getting 25% or better fuel economy than everyone else.

 

I get 73 mpg consistently and am bone stock. Amazingly, I love this KLX in it's stock form. I ride 50/50 but I keep it pretty mellow off road.

 

My 2009 Fuel Injected 250 KLX returns ...

80 miles per UK gallon

or

63 miles per US gallon (not everything is bigger in the US)

or

3.7 litres per 100km for the Europeans !

 

Thats not true. Sometimes increasing efficiency increases power, and vice versa.

 

Hell yeah woof. That's what I'm talking about. Just an all around increase in efficiency. Now the problem is finding some mechanic knowing enough about carbs to perform that type of upgrade. THose Kawa engineers do really know what they are doing.

I was reading a pretty good site the other day about how most people dont know how to really set up their carbs with the new jetting. I certainly dont know how to.

Anybody going to challenge Sid for the MPG Title. Do I hear 110 MPG? Going once, twice, no deal.
