I've done 52 miles with £10 petrol...but no evidence of a leak just wondering if that was normal...being a 125 its pretty greedy

That is crap, I can do more than that on either my bandit or the XT.

It does depend on how you ride, but even screaming the living shit out of it, you should be getting over 100 miles to £10 of petrol.

Your getting worse mpg than my ninja with upped gearing. Youre leaking or over fuelling

Strip and check !

[Vincent]

Have you a standard exhaust and air box? And porting?

You can keep consumption down by staying within max power when cruising in the speed limits, (not sure but I would have thought on an NSR that'll be somewhere between 4,000 and 8,000 RPM, you should be able to "feel" it).

Don't always rev the throttle when changing down.

Don't sit at the lights blipping the throttle.

Don't leave the choke on any longer than you need to.

Make sure the exhaust isn't caked up.

Clean or relace air filter.

Take the bike for a good run, take the plug out and stick a photo of it on here.

that works out at 30 mpg at today's price of £1.30 per litre, that wrong just plain wrong!

Have you been buggering around with it?! My old SV does a miniumum 45mpg when trashed!

Somethings up. I get about 150 out of £15 on the er6n.

My Mondeo does about 50 miles to a £10. Your bikes toooo thirsty.

I'd love to get 30mpg. On my YR5 it's not very often a tank lasts more than 55 - 60 miles to reserve (about £9 - £10) and it's easier to get less than that (current record to reserve is 37 miles, but that was one of those rides I was paying more attention to how hard I was twisting the throttle than to where I was actually going!

kev205 - u gonna get a different answer from everyone on here ...

i got a kmx125 an it does about 65 mpg ish ... an that ridden pretty hard

got a sm610 an it does bout 40mpg an my crm250 does about 30mpg

depends how it set up an how u ride it.

30 mpg cud b normal if u ride it hard an the set up not perfect ... used to hav a dt125 that was like that maybe even worse.

wudnt worry bout it - unless it hurtin u in the pocket wiv fuel cost goin up n up

I hate to say it but the NSR can drink a lot of fuel for a 125, but thats only if you thrash it hard!
(That being said, i'v never known anything < 45-50 accept when the power valve was pinned and the only place there was power was the powerband!)

On the bright side,
Keep out of the power band (powervalve closed) and you can get a swish 70-80 mpg

Only downside is with stock gearing thats a mean a steady 55'ish mph max, slow accelerating and all that jib.

You'll feel like a tw*t but think about all the fuel you'r saving

That being said my NSR is going to be rebuilt as soon as i get my old bag'o crap 125 4strke sorted out

a bajillion MPG

My NSR was very costly to keep running. Fuel prices costs about 80p/l back then. Would hate to know how much it would cost at today's prices!

Did a quick check on mine for you, 2001 nsr , I did 70 miles to 7 litre. In hindsight would have put a gallon in but we all know hindsights just a bit*h
