Default POOR GAS MILAGE ON AC650


I ahve over 600 miles on my 650 I get a bout 11.5 miles to the galon, while on my Polaris 700 I got about 15 miles to the galon.
So now I know why AC needs such big gas tank. OR somthing wrong with my CAT.

Wow, mine is more like 23-25 mpg and only has 180 miles on it. I am not riding hard and fast but I am not babying it either. And much of it was in 4wd.

600 miles may need a tune up, with a new wires and plugs. no one should be getting that low of a gas mileage.

Then give your filter a good clean, Then maybe clean your carbs.

This will defeintly help

tell us what happens.

I have 375 miles on mine and am getting around 12mpg. This is mainly trail and mud riding in low and some high range gravel road riding. I put 130+ miles on it this weekend and used a little more than 10 gallons of gas.
