Fuel Guzzling Bugger! :(
 

Did a little economoy test..

On my FI international restricted bike, i get ~100 miles from full right to the top, until my low fuel light comes on..

How does this compare to everyone else's fuel consumption?
Especially others on a restricted license??
As i think my FI international kit is making the bike run waaaaaay too rich?

Thanks, David.

thats on average what i get on a full power sv

On my unrestricted K6 with a K&N filter and Aftermarket can but no remap I was getting half that again - approx 10miles to the litre.

That doesnt sound right.
When im giving it guts all day i can go through a tank, but the fuel light wont come on untill around 120 - 130 .... 150/160 if i was taking it very very easy and trying to save fuel.

Even a small try on full power i got 120 till the light and i wasnt hanging around.
I have the standard Suzuki restirctor in which may be all the difference.

Check your plugs and see if the mixture has been running rich.

Mhm havent had the plugs out yet, was just wondering if I was right before taking them out..

So full throttle all the time, you get 120/130?
Mine came on before i was even at 100..
I dont excessively rev, when riding keep below 8/9K usually..
Maybe it is the difference between the FI and the ECU, not sure though :(

Re: Fuel Guzzling Bugger! :(
 

Do a search on this kind of thing, i have lost count on how many threads there are.

Re: Fuel Guzzling Bugger! :(
 

Same thing ....the ECU and FI.
120 when keeping the revs above 5/6k for a good while.
Hmmmm i get alot more on my weekday rides to collage as i never really get the engine moving or top 50mph.

Wait for some one with more knowlage on the subject to come along me thinks.

Re: Fuel Guzzling Bugger! :(
 

all depends how you ride dunnit.

Re: Fuel Guzzling Bugger! :(
 

on my sv650 i could get as much as 140 -150 miles to a tank but riding hard probably only about 80 miles.

Re: Fuel Guzzling Bugger! :(
 

So riding hard + the restriction is probily the cause of it..

Was just wondering really what people on restricted bikes get, couldn't find a thread on that..

Even at motorway speeds, e.g taking it quite easy and not changing speed/revs alot, I put in more petrol than a TL1000 when we stopped to refuel again!
