what kind of gas mileage you guys getting on your bikes???

in city riding, i'm getting around 220-240kms a tank (if I hang around 4000-6000 rpm)

My fuel light will come on at around 200kms if i'm taking it easy and 180kms if I have been riding the bike hard. Then i'll have another 30-40kms left after that.

On the highway, well I dunno, I haven't gone anywhere far yet so no clue....

I haven't gone through a full tank of gas yet this year, and my memory is a little foggy, but I think I get about 150km's before my fuel light comes on, and about another 60 after that (although it is untested ).

 

[bl1tz]

i usually fill up at the nearest gas station after 175kms...

Older bikes have larger tanks? I get around 300 Kms out of tank with mainly city riding.

 

[Bluestone]

I always fill up before 200kms, but i haven't hit empty yet so i don't know how much my reserve gives me.

 

[xenz]

Mine start blinking at ~160 and went solid around ~200-210 with the style I'm riding.

 

[BCSBADMIN]

I fill up at about 140 Kms.

I think my 4 wheeled beater gets better gas mileage.. :laughing

Jim.

dude your memory is foggy...my light doesn't come on until at least 200-210 and then we have about another 30-40km on that

He might ride a lot harder, or then again maybe he's just foggy

 

[TeeTee]

I have a liter bike. It makes enough power that I don't care..............
:flip



Goes on reserve somewhere around 235 when touring with an eye out for radar.

yeah he's probably a little more throttle happy that i am, but when i'm having fun the light kicks in at about 180

The real question

The real question should be how much mileage do you get and how $$$ does it cost you to fill up.

On my new R1 the light comes on around 190km city and I usally get gas at around 220km, and the last 3 tanks on Premium have cost just around $10-$11

Where as my triumph would get 270km before the gas light came on but would cost $15 to fill up, so do the math.

cheers

I fill up at 200kms and it cost me 9-10bucks to fill up, this is when I have about 20-40kms left in the tank.

btw, I use only Chevron 94 octane, sure it's overpriced, but 92 octane made my on/off response feel like crap, well that was esso 92, shell 92 seems to run fine.

I know what you mean I prefer Chevron 94 as well, but I havn't had any problems with Esso or Shell, but Petro can gas really sucks big time.

 

[atomlowe]

Pretty much the same as everyone else.....185km and about 10-11 bucks to fill. I only use Chevron 94, but I'll put a few bucks of other stuff in when I couldn't find a Chevron.

 

[Hu99]

About 260km before she coughs politely and asks for the reserve.

That's another thing with Kawi's, have they changed that yet? The fuel reserve petcock that is? I think almost all the other brands have switched over to a 'fill me up' light.

 

[thr1]

Kawi's are the only one left with the petcock

 

[bl1tz]

petcock's nothing, just leave it on reserve the whole time

Kawi's are the only one left with the petcock

I guess what they say is true that Kawi's are behind the times
