~FOUND the CULPRIT!!~ Miles traveled VS Tank of gas~UPDATED~
« on: June 12, 2006, 09:25:46 AM »
driving with a good mix of city and highway, lets say I can go 140miles maybe a bit more, on a full TTT tank of gas.  Is this good? Comparable to what you guys are getting?

ok well false alarm.  I really checked and the residue on the plugs and stuff is oil. Oil from when I dramatically overflowed the engine.  it CLOGGED my air filter as result of bad gas mileage no?  also the oil, underpressure seem to get out any way it could lol every connection there was oil residue where it had leaked.  I am getting the CR9EIX just for the heck of it 17+ no change plugs.  See if my airbox is dirty enough

Not really considering yourtank is 5.5 gal. Thats about 25.5 MPG, not bad if you never shift past 3rd gear. :lol:

When my bike was stock, I could get  from 175 to 200 miles on a full tank.  Depending on how I rode it.  120 seems a little low, unless your at full throttle 90% of the time.

How many gallons you use to get the 140 miles? is the little light on?

Figure 5 gallons at 140 miles is about 28mpg
If you useing 4.5 gallons then it would be 31 so its hard to say

Stock motor, piped and tuned with a PC at 17/43 and corrected speedo I get about 36 at 85 on highway, and about 43 at 50 mph.
So if I do 5 gallons at 35 mpg that would be about 175 but I would be on fumes.

Also is your speedo corrected and have you dont any gear changes that will effect you hard core.

I have no mods done to the motor, just tre and small box.  I'll be lucky to push 120 before I refuel the next time.  I am above the red barely and this was not quite a full tank I put 10bux instead of the 13 that takes to fill it.  But as suspected I am loosing fuel before it gets to my motor as I stated in a recent post earlier last week.  The bike runs fine, shows 39.6 on the MPG was over 40 before I started playing.  So a guy with a 1397 is getting same/better than me :(

Where is your trip from and to?  650 miles is about 3-4 tanks of highway miles. 5 if you mix in some city.

What are you worried about?

IF YOU HAVE A FUEL LEAK WHY WOULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER A 650 MILE TRIP, UNLESS YOUR TRYING TO CATVCH IT ON FIRE FOR INSURANCE REASONS.

Where you located bro, if you are near Louisville Ky bring the bike by my place I will look over it for you free of charge. I would not want to hear about your bike catching on fire, if you got a fuel leak I will find it. How many miles you got on the bike and more important the plugs? Maybe its time for a change, you might not be leaking fuel just not getting a good burn. Also air filter is it dirty might be time for a changeing.

I've ran out of gas on my Busa once, that was at 210 miles of mostly twisties.
That's the only time I've ever gone over 200 miles on a tank.

I never spend enough time at a good gas-saving speed to see how much the thing might really get.

Keep in mind, this is with a corrected speedo (7.75%) 200 x .0775 = 15.5 miles, or 235.5 showing when I ran out if it were un-corrected.

wow BiggerDanno thats a big difference, but then again its because of the variable error in the speedo, also the MPG calculator is wrong aswell.  and Quijinn, thanks for your offer.  I live in Houston TX so I know I am too far.  I will take a closer look at the bike and the filter.  17k+ miles on the bike, had the bike since 5172k miles and have not changed the plugs.  Is it easy to do? I will do it within 2 days if it is. I have the freaking PDF manual but its on another comp that is not with me.   can I just remove the airbox?

Yah remove the air box. Then pull the coils off the plug, there not wires like a car the coils are right on the plugs. So pull them off and set them by each plug they came off. Then use a real spark plug socket to pull the plugs. Its pretty simple and straight forward, while you are in there look for anything that might be residue of a fuel leak. Check the air filter as well if its dirty gas milage will go straight to hell.
