286 km on 1 tank

[steve92106]

I got 186 Mi. on a tank last week. Filled up with 4.16 gal when I got home so that was 45 mpg. For you non-US guys out there that's 310 Km. 'Course I was on the warning light for the last 27 miles.

You do realize some of you are talking about different size tanks? Different tank sizes makes most of this thread meaningless.

That's a pretty impressive number for the bigger tanks.

My little tank gets around 175k if we're good and about 140-150k if we're really good.

Still, I didn't get this bike to hypermile.

Use up all the gas and bring back heavy horses.

well Lionbuell is on a Uly ans so am I, so I would assume our tank sizes are the same.

Same here, '09 Uly XT. That last tank was 70 fwy mi. @ avg. 85 mph, then 36 @ avg, 75, then finally got 40 miles in the local twisties going balls out followed by limping home on the fwy 40 mi @70. I wish where I live I could ride off freeways all the time but there you have it. Anyway, 45 mpg is better than most POS econobox cages and one hell of a lot more fun. I'll take it.

Took my bike in to get a new clutch cable fitted snapped on me in traffic not fun! Had 287km on the clock i would have done 300km for sure. So now, new cable, new belt, some powder coating and stickers. I will post picks when i get it back can`t wait.

06 Uly usually ride 2 up with the wife and get roughly 220 to 230 kms @110 to 120km/hr. Now with trailer i'm not sure but it hasn't changed too much.

 

[LionBuell]
