depends on the way it is being ridden

if you ride wide open on the dunes all day you will likely burn thru 5-6 tanks of fuel

if you do 100 slow miles thru the woods,,,you can get er done on one tank

This certainly depends on your throttle use [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Open up both carbs and it can drink it like a fish. On a modest trail ride I've got about 45kms and still had 1/4 of a tank plus reserve.

I've never run it empty. Not interested in that.

Oh, 45kms is 27.96 miles.

Boy i dunno what raptor your riding bing [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

My raptor in the woods is good for about 50-60 miles the way i ride...
On the dunes its good for 30-40 miles the way i ride. which usually equates to about 5 tanks of petrol a day.
