How many Kms/miles will a grizzly go on a single tank of gas.

 

I hope you get some answers as I'm really curious about the MPG of the Grizzly too. With gas getting into nosebleed territory and going nowhere but up it becomes more of an issue especially to those of us that ride every day and put a lot of miles on every month.

 

The 700 has a 5.3 gal tank. Some have posted previously that they get 30-35 mpg. This all depends on how and where you ride. Fast and furious burns a lot more fuel then slow and steady.

 

Thank you very much. This gives me a ball park idea on how far i can ride on one tank of fuel.
Thank you

 

I've put about 500 miles on my 660 grizzly and average about 15-20 mph.
I havent got better than 20 MPG and that was only one tank of gas at 20 MPG. I usually average about 15 MPG. Get about 60 miles before I have to switch to reserve.

There's a couple threads on grizzlyowners.com about MPG and seems the average is 15-20 MPG for both the 660 and 700 grizzlys.

I'd love to see 30-35 MPG but I'm pretty heavy on the throttle most the time.

 

My wife and I just did a 65 mile ride on the Grizzly's two days ago. I burned 2.9 gallons in 65 miles, and she burned 2.4 gallons in 60 miles. I use the throttle more than she does, and went a few more miles, so used a half gallon more than she did. If you're wanting good gas mileage, don't get a big bore sport/ute. My 12 year old son rode his Raptor 250 the same 65 miles that I did, and used 1.3 gallons of gas, so that little quad gets double the gas mileage a Grizzly does (50 mpg vs 25 mpg)

 

Two weeks ago I went on a 2 day 116 mile trip and at 62 miles I added 4 gallons. The gauge was blank other than the blinking fuel icon. Trail was a lot of going up switch backs and wide open between turns. Also some high speed gravel roads. Packed heavy with camping gear.

The second day I ended up flipping it over backwards on a hill and it landed on my leg and chest. So the last 45 miles never got above 25 MPH. Still had a half tank when I got back to the trail end.

I guess in the end, if you break your thumb so you can't press the throttle you get much better fuel mileage.

Yup. It's trying to hit that balance between MPG and the needed level of power and performance that is a killer. Yes, I can definitely use the power of a 700 or 800 class machine but the difference between the MPG between a 700-800 class machine and a 500 class machine can really add up especially when gas is as high as it is now and you put a lot of miles on your machine.

 

Well bad on a Grizz is better than anything i get in my power stroke F250
