Gas Milage & Octane .... simple poll & question

[Jaman]

07 S4Rs - DP ECU, Airbox, full Termi, slightly heavy right hand - 30-35mpg

(furthest I've pushed it on reserve is 17 mi)

[J3]

2007 s2r1000, full exhaust, stock airbox, stock gearing, pace riding, light city riding
o2 disconnected 40-45mpg
o2 connected 45-50 mpg
Max mileage on one tank ~130

[Porsche Monkey]

97 M900, open airbox, FBF high comp pistons, Scorpion CF pipes, stage 2 jet kit.  35 to 45 mpg.  What octane rating do ya'll run?

[scott_araujo]

'03 800 Dark bone stock.  About 42 mpg no matter how I ride.  I was getting near 50mpg with the lean factory setting until I tuned it and richened up the mixture a bit.  It runs much better now with no backfiring but gets a little less mileage.

Update; Yes; there is many factors that effect MPG preformance; but generally it already looks like theres a range of between 35-45 MPG.  Milage is a good starting point to identify the mechanical heallth of an engine.  He Man identified that a valve adjustment might make a significant difference in milage.  This is intresting; Keep em comming, I'll try to do a summary in a week or 2.

OK Factors effecting (or is that affecting) Include ....
Engine - 800
Riding style / Riding conditions- city, non commuting, sometimes heavy on the throttal
Modifications - none
Octane - I'm using 94; expensive; I'm going to try the 87 or 89 for a while; further comments??.
Mechanical adjustments - good to 12 k Miles
perhaps quality & oil weight - 15 -50 Motol full synthetic

along with the obvious weight of the rider; aerodynamics etc lol, - 195, ft fairing, polished helmet; upright riding style ... with 803 cc's it cant make that much difference

Thanks; Cheers Duci Dave

Duc engines seem to run better on regular gas unless you've gone to high compression pistons.

[Pakhan]

03 m620 sil cans, pcIII 135miles on a full tank

04 749s mivv cans 120miles on a full tank

Didn't run out of gas on either but had the light on for quite a while before I got to those numbers.

My 2003 M1000s with just slip-ons gets 39-42 mpg in Iowa, but I get over 50 easy in South Dakota.  I figure the elevation difference?

[DEVO!]

105 - 120 per tank depending on how I ride.
Really Ducks like Reg gas?

Done.

[printman]

only getting mid 30's in mileage, maybe I need to let off the ON switch a little 


93 due to the  H/C's installed 87 on stock compression

[BlackHills]

'95 900SS/SP, open airbox/Arrows/+2 on the rear sprocket. 

I consistently get 45-48mpg on 85 octane, the best I've ever gotten was 52.  95% of my riding is on the highway.

[Augustus]

I have a 2007 S2R 1000 with termis and DP ECU.  I get about 42 miles per gallon on 87 octane.

[somegirl]

2007 M695 with the termi/DP ECU kit, I get about 45 mpg with 87 octane.
