What kind of km/L do you get on your 250?

Sounds like I should trade mine in for a Hyo. The fuel light comes on at around 250km at the latest on my bike

I'll just put it out there, on my CT110 I get some where around 30-35 km per L.

getting 200-210km from 92 cbr250rr before reserve, holy hyo 430km!

Hit a new record today. 320 km before hitting reserve.
That's at least 60mpg although probably a bit more.
Around 4-4.5 litres per 100km
21-24 km per litre.

Very surprised by this seeing as i spent a lot more time up over 9000.

one day i'm going to make 200k out of my 18L tank...

(need to find a long down hill ride)

HONDA GB250S

I'm now getting closer to 25K/L - I pulled off the choke cable back to the splitter, I think that was the problem, cable a bit stiff and must have made the choke permanently open a crack.

I'm getting about 9km/l but something's definitely wrong with my fzr, gonna have it looked at

Just needa stop riding it at the redline mate!

How far should my 250 hornet be getting off a tank of gas? It'll let me put about 10 litres in if I ran into reserve and I only get about 140-150kms out of the tank, I ride conservative usually, but It's quite a step from the 350 I used to get from my Hyosung

**sleemanj** · 21st December 2009, 12:38

So from full to when you need to switch to reserve, you're only getting 150k's?

First thing, check your choke cable for free movement etc, if the choke is stuck on it will be gulping down gas, probably halving your milage.

**Hiflyer** · 21st December 2009, 13:07

Na checked that forast time I ran to reserve and that's sweet, I was expectinag around 200kms per tank (that what my flatmates bandit does)

**WRT** · 21st December 2009, 13:41

I didn't buy it for it's fuel economy, but . . . if I'm just cruising, the CR will do roughly 50ks from 6 litres, so that's about 8km per litre or 19mpg.

You road guys have got it far too easy.
