Re: What is everyone else getting mpg ?
That explains it then, Im 18 stone and the other half is on the back most of the time, also mostly start stop town riding... I may also be throttling it at every set of lights.
That's not much worse though. |

What is everyone else getting mpg ?
Hi guys, my SV's K4 seems to give 120miles on Full Tank, this seems low from what I'm reading? Perhaps I'm riding her too hard?

We've had this discussion on here before so I know I'm at the opposite end of the scale from Bibio where I'm lucky to see 100 miles before I need to fill up. Having said that I only ride my SV recreationally, I very rarely take it on motorways or into town, and it's got a PC3 fitted which I know puts it a bit on the rich side as some points of the curve. I guess what I'm saying is you shouldn't worry about it! |

Re: What is everyone else getting mpg ?
i suppose its not fair saying MPT as that is full to pushing so i'll give the MPL figures.
avg 13.20mpl = 60.02mpg min 11.66mpl = 53.00mpg max 15.34mpl = 69.75mpg Last edited by Bibio; 28-07-15 at 12:02 AM. |

Re: What is everyone else getting mpg ?
I can get 130-140 miles until light starts flashing. I weigh 110 kgs and only have a quarter inch on my chicken strip , so you can judge how I ride when I'm on my own....

Re: What is everyone else getting mpg ?
Hmmm, lets just say I need to ask a lot of people a lot of the time how far it is to the next petrol station... There again, I don't have a SV

Re: What is everyone else getting mpg ?
I'm 15 stone in my kit and most of my journeys are under 15 miles each way, usually in quite heavy traffic, so part pootling in a queue and part manic overtaking. My K3 naked averages 10.4 MPL, around 50mpg except for one tankful where I caned it and only got 38mpg.

Re: What is everyone else getting mpg ?
I'm 14st and knocking out an average of 60MPG on my K9, but this is 300 miles of commuting a week, but only 50 miles of that is motorway - I treat going to and from work like a ride out so I'm not hanging about, but I'm also not the fastest rider out there SV #2 SV #1.
