Hi,

just worked out that im getting about 40-45 miles to £5 of fuel... roughly 40mpg?

this normal? or is something a bit titty?

bike in question is a carbeurretered GSXR600 SRAD

cheers queers xxxxxx

EDIT: its restricted if that makes any difference... doesnt rev above 8-9k easily... 7-8k tops in 6th gear

nah that sounds about right.

the best bike I've found for mpg, was a bmw...could sup anywhere between 10-12 miles per litre on average.


Best I got was nearly 270 miles to 22 litres..

My 650cc 1cyl carb averaged 47-50mpg @ 75-80 (90 max) mph, my 1000cc V2 EFI averages 44-45mpg @ 80-90 (105 max) mph. But having just fitted a TRE I got 49 mpg tonight, so I'd say your consumption sounds about right, are you a "spirited" rider?

i dont think ill be getting a TLR any time soon then Very Happy

i think ive found out A fuelling problem...

i seem to be getting a bit of fuel in my oil! not loads, it just smells like fuel.
i drained it out, and refilled it with fresh oil, but im a bit confused as to how it got there... tests pending to see if it was just a one off from my recent crash where my sump filled with fuel and i got a hydraulic lock. it only filled up when the engine was at standstill, the lock didnt stop the engine whilst running, so i doubt any internal damage.

my crank case breather attaches to the airbox, but there was no fuel in the airbox, no hydraulic lock in the cylinders... the bike runs fine! im just getting fuel in there... its rate confusing.
can anyone shed any light?

I get the same, if not a little less, on the same bike (non restricted)


thanks for that, would a restricted bike be a bit crapper on fuel efficiency? just worked it out that £17 gets me roughly 140 miles (trip counter, and light just came on)

anyone got anything that could help with the fuel in the oil?

For most 600cc sports bikes they will do anywhere from 35-45 mpg so yours is fine no need to worry. From my r6 i get about 130 miles to £15 i think thats about 37 mpg or somthing.
