How far will my DR-Z400 go on a "Clarke" tank of gas ?

**Tony W** · 8th April 2009, 17:08

Am riding the Waikaremoana loop on Friday.
I put a Clarke tank on last year, but have not yet done a full real world economy/range test to see how many km I will go before I totally run out of fuel.
The tank NOW holds 15.75L of gas. (was only 14.75 on first fill)
The route will be approx 200km tar, 150 km gravel, 70km forest road, 20km forest track.
Would you guys like to take a stab at how many Km until I run out.

(I will keep riding until empty)

It'll be raining, very muddy, and dark when you run out.

nah, but you can leave your bike and walk !

Have a guestimate of the mileage I'll do...

I could only get 16km/l on my DR-Z with road gearing and a full yosh pipe, open box and 160 main jet...crazy frog runs almost stock and I think he is closer to 18-20 km/l.

333.3km (if you ride like a girl)

but I know you don't

My normal is 26.3 km/l ! I'm going to try harder.

Go on, put a figure on it.
