restrictions affect on fuel

[ISLAND GIRL]

Having had my hornet 600 restricted to 33bhp would it have any effect on the consumption of my fuel does anyone know, what I mean is exactly does the bike use more fuel with it being restricted? Since I have no fuel guage I have been going by my mileage and was informed that I should go about 100 - 110 miles on a tank but yesterday I nipped out and it died on just 91, had to flick over to reserve, was not expecting it so early on. Would it be more fuel efficient if it were not restricted (not that I am taking it out yet)

No, the restrictors just stop as much fuel going into the engineat full throttle. In a sense it's just like not being to open the throttle all the way.

Nope as Jordan said.

The one major drawback to a hornet.

I managed 78.8 to reserve once.

But was that on restricted Instigator as I thought the hornet did about 100 - 110 on a full tank as earlier posted here couple of wks back?
OH says it could be that I dont go for long runs, just to work and back then to the shops??

Yeah it could be the short journeys.

Jay said he got 110-120 miles, I hardly ever got anywhere near that, except once where I got 118 miles or so but that was with bp optimax in.

Hornets...bloody useless. I did say it.

I am gonna put it down to the short journeys and constantly changing gears then, would not of brought anything else still as on the whole the hornet gets a good write up especially for new riders like moi, cheers
