Whhheeeww

Im not a 100% sure but all I did was put an HMF pipe and quiet core and lost almost 13 miles per gallon...or 7 mpg off my lowest mpg average to date.....Just wondering if I do the pipe/jets and air box mod....Where will I be at 45mpg instead of 65mpg stock..Urrgh

 

I get 170Km from full tank to reserve. You work it out.

 

1 kilometer = 0.621371192 miles

If I did my math right...Thats 273 miles US per tank..I couldnt get those #z stock and driving at idle for the whole tank..

 

LOL, It's 105.63 miles

 

Greetings all. Im replying to this post for two reasons. One with my mpg with jetting and full pipe it really depends how you ride. I can get 70 if i ride easy. But if i dont care i can get 60 all the time.

The second reason for posting is to see if i can post from the Blackberry using the new forum. If you are in fact reading this it worked. However since the e-mail notification is not working yet i was wondering if a few of you good people could email me and let me know if it worked. Thanks. Here is my e-mail info. Either one will work

P.S. I dont have google spellckeck so this e-mail is exempt.

 

Im running a full KLX300 exhaust with a 3/4" end opening, kdx snorkle, stock air filter and 40/128 jetting and yesterday I got 95mi until I hit reserve riding mostly main streets/ highway and some trail. Is it that you rev it up a bit more since you got your pipe? I know mine sounds cool around 7k =) I've also seen 30-40 mpg riding rough 1st gear trails from hell.

 

I'm at basically the same settings (125 main jet at the moment with 2 turns on the fuel screw and 2nd clip position on the needle).

Riding really hard on the street, I got a little over 62MPG. On stock jetting with the choked up exhaust and air box, I got 70MPG with "normal" riding and 100MPG if I babied it. Stock was way lean and it idles at 1K RPM when warm now so, it's jetted better even if it's not optimized yet.

 

My Bad....

I forgot and left my tank switch on reserve for a bit off the tank...I filled up again today after 75 miles of riding and got 67.6mpg...So the HMF pipe is getting me better mileage..50 of those miles were at 55-75mph...

With my mods, FSW header,FMF P-core IV pipe 128 main and twin air filter with no lid i can ride like an idiot on the street and it'll always land me about 60-67 mpg.With the clarke tank it gives me about 140 miles before i hit reserve....give or take a few miles....But about 140 is normal.I also found my bike makes it's best power by 8000 rpm so i have never really had a need to see higher than that.

 

I just filled up this morning, and I have my GPS logging everything so I'll get a REAL figure for you next fillup. I know that the stock speedo is off by a good chunk, so I'm guessing the ODO is as well. If so, then these numbers are all off..

My GPS logs trip miles as an ODO, I will run the tank out, and fill it up and do the calculations at the pump. I'll report back to base!!!
