OK so a guy bring in his BF 750 saying that he is getting 30 miles to 5 gallons of gas.

We took out and put on 10 hard miles and got 10 miles to the gallon. So what are you getting riding on the trails for MPG?

Only reason I ask is cause I know when I call Kawi I'm going to get the well we don't have a MPG rating. I know that if I was driving around my yard with one for an hour I would probly burn up atleast a half gallon of gas.

 

I haven't had mine very long, but I took it out the other weekend and went 40 miles and still had a little less than a half a tank of gas left I believe? I've heard if you take out the white tube insert in the gas tank it will take more fuel??

 

MPG on ATVs vary depending on many factors even more greatly than on-road vehicles...
2 or 4WD? Terrain? Heavy thump? Extra load/cargo? Big tires? Making donuts? etc..

Here is some MPG figures I measured on my 750 with zero mods (only a winch):
~10 for hard 4WD riding.
~12 for avearage mixed 2/4WD riding.
~14 for grandma style riding in 2WD only.

Above measured are from many rides, not just a one time calculation. I do this not only to find out the actual cruise range but also to monitor the engine running condition. MPG usually goes down when there is a problem.

 

Ya I called Kawi and those are the figures that they told me. Carb sycronization was a little off and adjust the mixture screws, was little lean at idle.

 

i have a 07 750 and i get 10 to 12 mpg depending on my driving style you can pull out the baffle in the tank and squeeze 1 extra gallon in ( the white tube) then re install it give ya 10 to 12 extra miles of riding[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Do any of you know if the BF650 has the same baffle in the tank? My dad has an 05 BF650 and he would probably be thrilled to know about getting an extra gallon in there.

No, the '05 BF650 only came in SRA and it would not have the same fuel tank design as the IRS BF750. BF650 SRA is basically a re-skinned P650 with some minor changes here and there.

 

YES - the BF650 does have the tube in the tank. I have an '05 BF650 and there is a tube that can be removed to add more fuel.

 

If you guys dont mind, would you give me some directions on how to remove the baffle to get the extra gas in the tank on an 05 BF 650? I mentioned it to my dad and he seemed to be excited about the idea but then he asked me "how". Please help me out on this cause I surely dont have an answer for this.
Thanks

reach in and just pulls out, I did that on the one that I tested and got another gallon in it. I did test the mileage yesturday and got 15 at mph in 2wd
