Gas milage

[Vettezilla (Impala Balko)]

40-42 MPG every tank consistantly with the 01 Gixxer 750. This is beating the bag out of it most of the time and mixed highway city mileage. I have always wondered if I babied it for a whole tank whats the max MPG i could get out of it. Funny how I can never baby the thing though.

i dont know but one time i got over 175 miles to the 4 gallon tank.... is yours fuel injected? low light comes on with 135ish miles and has about a gallon left. The thing is my bike appears to burn a tad rich and if i got it tuned i would think it should get better

HIs version of beating on it is different than your version?

yea, fuel injected-00-01 is the same bike as far as i know, cept they fixed the tranny i think. last three tanks, the low light comes on at 127miles, and when i fill it up at that point, it fits like 3.9-4 gallons. just has a slip on.

thats just it-i dont beat on it. im rarely above 8k rpm, mostly stay around 5-6k, just cruising back and forth to work and stuff, some freeway, but not much. maybe i should start raping it, see if that gets better mileage...even though theoretically that makes no sense.

maybe the motor is more efficent at a higher RPM?

idk-if thats the case, ill be getting alot of speeding tickets to get better mpg, anything over 6k in any gear but 1st is over the limit, im rarely on the freeway.


cop: do u know how fast you were going?

me: im saving the economy by polluting less, and getting better gas mileage-more efficient. are u really gonna give me a ticket for being eco friendly? im helping make the world a better place for your kids, and grandkids.

cop: yes. sign here.

me: you're a dick.

maybe you should wheelie it alot and bounce it off the rev limiter occasionally and rev out every gear... I use mine as a daily comuter to work on the nice days as well and I encounter both highway and city miles during it
