Hit 21-21.5km/L the last two fill ups :-) pretty proud of myself!

[Cam_Valk]

14-15km/L.
But there are some definite issues with my bike.

I think we got that bike running pretty damn good in the end mate. Is it still hanging on idle?

[Icemaestro]

haha yeah :-) almost happy with it;-) heh.

Went riding for about 3 hours on and off the last couple days, so much better with the lower shock - and the shock he put in is mint condition ay - the stock 92 one with damping and remote reservoir, preload adjustment...dropped the rear by another 2cm or so (haven't adjusted preload yet either) bit more comfortable!!

Just need a paint job for my spare tank and maybe fix the fairings, and it'd be mint! oh and maybe a stock footpeg for the right side to match my stock one on the left now :-D haha. Perfectionist...

[DrunkenMistake]

how do you work out the km per litre ?

[Icemaestro]

oh yeah, and the carbs..yeah still hanging on idle...haven't had the carbs done yet...AJ would do them for 180 or so for me though :-)...and having owned about 35 of em over the years (yes, someone who has owned more of them than you!)

[Icemaestro]

I have an app that tracks my fuel usage...otherwise a calculator...fill up to top, reset speedo, ride, fill up again, go km/s travelled divided by Litres put in tank...aka 210/10L or something like that...

in that case mine would be 15km/l but i do alot of quick pass short riding to commute, but I get far better economy over distance plus I need a new air filter and plugs.

Fill it to the top to an accurate set point like filler neck, reset the km counter and ride it, then fill it to the same point and do the math.

Just turn all the pilot screws rich half a turn- easy. No need to hand over hard earned $

[koba]

What fuel economy are you guys getting on your bikes? L/100km or km/L?

Terrible.
I think my tank is 15L and I get 220km at the most.
I'l leave the rest of the maths to you.

Oh, Its an NC 21 and well worn.

You should learn to think for yourself, it will serve you well in the future.

An app?
I hope you are taking the piss...

The math...
Now that I have shot my mouth off about thinking I should do my own math...
Naa, fuggit, all I need to know is It's still heaps better than the van.

You strike me as a van owner..

Haha nope :-p quite handy actually - use it for the business side of things (self emplyed) tracks expenses and can do % of expenses etc that I then plug into my vehicle expenses for the business... its also been quite handy to see the fuel consumption decrease on the bike as I've been getting things sorted on it (started out at 9km/L when I first got it!
