Fuel economy

[Squiggles]

18km/L, was 20km/L before the TM40 and I don't think i've quite got it right. Rich all round at the moment

[NordieBoy]

My 09 DR650 18.5 km/l standard good range of highway cruising to thrashing the crap out of it, just fitted a procycle jet kit, largest main, opened air box & K&N filter, open rear silencer, not sure now anyone done the same & know what Km/l it will do ?

It'll probably do close to 18.5km/l.
What size main?

....Like warewolfs 640, the beachracing used an incredible amount of gas.

Being pushed off the course tell you it was time for more gogo juice

Not exactly sure what the 450 EXC does but on the DB1k I got to 380km before hitting reserve on my 25l tank. Summing around 5l left that equates to 5.3l/100km or 19km/l. Not bad me thinks given there was more than one strop in that 380km.

[Crisis management]

20 km /l on the 640, possibly a fraction less in hard going and slightly better if I lash out and use 98 (95 is minimum).
The R80 is worse, about 15 km/l on that, the 990 was similar, around 300kms per 21 litres.











The 200's around 10 I think..

XRsix hundy.... 18km per L
stock carb bigger jets, running rich

I was staggered to average 3.8ltr / 100 km at the weekend on tubby the TDM. Just shy of a 1000 k's, two up & luggaged. I think the "safer speed stupid" attitude on the main highways helped, though.

Sorry, OP, I've not got one of those drky540sx things either, but - 3.8? Crikey, that's impressive.
On my recent jaunt I averaged 4.8l/100kms over 2,500 kms, with a best of 4.33.

I get 31lfhc/km on my Airhead

I get 31lfhc/km on my Airhead

i dont keep track of the PD i suspect i would get depressed,i dont think it gets any better than my car

[talbertnz]

I used to get 18 -19 KM/l on pretty stock Dr 650se

[SPman]

Driven/ridden in a similar manner...

XJR1300 - 7.2 l/100km - 1 up
Hyundai Getz 1600 - 7.2l/100km - 2 in
FZ1 - 6.7l/100km - 1 up

the car wins, but who gives a shit!

I used to get the same on my airheads, my 950 did marginally better than that, but not much.

[pomgolian]

It'll probably do close to 18.5km/l.
What size main?

think the main was 55 the largest in the kit, exhaust is pretty straight through heaps more bottom & mid range power for $75 USD just hoping it doesnt affect fuel range of my 19l tank to much.

Mine's not quite that bad, however you can take heart that it seems to be a lot more frugal than pretty much anything else I ride/race with. Surprising, I'd thought the 2T would be thirsty but those modern 4Ts sure gobble fuel.

[bart]

I don't care. I fill it up....when it hits reserve, I fill it again. If it's close to pay day, I ride the push bike....or steal the lawn mower gas.

XT660 gets 23/24km/L... no matter what type of rideing
XR250 gets 21km/L

I,m amazed your xt660 does 23/24 km/L have you altered your bike to do this, mine is standard and only gets 18km/L if I,m lucky when I,m having fun on it it is as low a 15kms/L .
I recently put a 16 tooth on the front its a much better bike to ride on the road now and maybe I will join the 20kms /L ???????
