Depends if it's important to you, some people couldn't be happier with 22mpg + oil

*including 100mph or cross London.

My 07 ZX6R got about 45-50mpg on a commute. The 636 cannot be THAT bad unless you are spanking it when you expect that kind of mpg.

I'll be happier if I can get it lower.

Okay, new question.

What's the worst mpg you've had?

I got about 8 on my Zephyr.

Turned out that the diaphragm on the fuel tap was leaking.

Just for the record, when I said you'd get half for the 636, that was a bit of an exageration, but I doubt you'd get better than 45, which I would consider as being significantly different from 60 being available.

Pah. That's cheating.

I'd be surprised if anyone with a four-stroke can beat 22mpg + oil though.

I think a while ago, Bear could have beat your oil consumption.

Bikes with faults don't count. Mine's working fine and STILL gets that mileage.

Sorry to hear about your accident JustaTrick, I think I read about it on the Oxford times website as I recall. Good luck with the insurance battle.

That wasn't me - someone did himself more of a mischief the next day. Falling off bikes on that roundabout seems to be a popular pastime

Glad you're alright, goodluck.

Edit: if you do need some curvy bits and bobs I have a few spares left from my '99 yellow naked.
