Hey All

I would REALLY apriciate it if you could give me the average fuel consumption for the following bikes as the information seems to be iluding me on the google searches.

KTM 250EXC
YAMAHA WR 250 F
HONDA CRF 250X
HONDA XR250

Cheers i apoligise if this info is around somewhere i simply cant find it

Yo dude. You're looking at close to 7.5L of fuel (tank) per hour of riding. That's what my KTM 250 SX-F states in the manual. So the CRF and WRF would be pretty similar. It would also depend on how much you thrash it (alot I bet).

Not sure about those models, but my 06KX450F can go for about 3 hours trail riding on a tank. I'm Guessing thats around 100K's worth as the last loop we did was around 30 K's and we got 3 in.. But then i'm not racing it at all. Bairly half throttle most the time! (too much power!

But i love it!

You havent said under what conditions they're being used. On a motorway headed to work, prob quite good. At full noise like theyre intended to be used you'd be lucky to see it last an hour. Off road, km per litre is a pretty pointless exercise as you could spend an hour in second and first up a snotty trail sweating your ring out

yea good point mate i will be doing about 70% commuting (20 km round trip certainly wouldnt get up into 5th ot 6th and only about half throttle) and 25% supermoto (just giving it ago on a track day or something) and 5% of easy trail ridding. With the ounce a fortnight 100km ride at 3/4 to full throttle (estimated)

Cheers

i would find it hard to belive you would get 100km out of a KXF450,

i know racing we sturggle to get 55km out of them, i know its harder on gas but no that much, i would think 70-80km tops

i know in race mode i can not get an hour out of my RMZ450 (found that out the hard way) i have to stop twice in a 2 hour cross country

yea what it was thinking

**BTM** · 29th March 2007, 21:10

me again is it true that i could get around 250kms out of an xr250 ?? if so thats what my money is on also acerbis make a long range tank for them to ?? how much does this improve fuel economy by is it really worth it ??

Ciao cheers

How many hours do you guys with 2 stroke mx bikes get on a tank of gas when trail riding?

**barty5** · 29th March 2007, 21:29

never gave it much thought (dont really care ) just keep topping the tank and keep going not like im paying for it (bussiness expense accountant loves me)
