I also just bought an 08 650 H1. I was wondering if anybody knows how many miles average it should get on the 6.5 gallon tank. It said i'm at like half or below and i only have 24 miles on it, any info on it would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to the Arctic cats.

 

Mine will do 100 miles easy on a tank. This would be riding in the hills of WV with some mud and some steep riding.

oh wow, ok thanks, I wonder if my guage is just not clicking quite yet or maybe it's something w/ the break in period but it just seems goofy right now.

 

I hate to say it but the gauges do not work. It bothered me at first but since the tank is so large I donot worry about fuel. If I need fuel then the others I ride with (Brute 750, Can-Am 800, Polaris 800) will be pushing theirs! A tank will last me all day if desired.

 

hey thanks that makes me feel better, now I'll quit worrying about the guages and just go by miles and if i'm empty oh well haha.

 

Fill it up and ride all you want for 6 to 8 hours and you will not have an issue. The H1 is not perfect but no ATV is. Enjoy it!

 

I've finally got some riding and the last tank i put on almost 4 gallons and only had like 32 miles, does that seem like it's burning alot? I have like 50 on the current tank and i've barely got 2 bars left sometimes it blinks on 1 bar? Anybody else have the new 08 that burns gas like that.

 

Our ac dealer told us that a v2 would go about 70 tops and a h1 could barrely go 62.

 

Thanks, I didn't realize how much fuel they really burned, not that i bought it for that but nice to know what i can expect anyway.

 

I have an 05 650 V2 and I get approx 90-100 mile per tank. As far as the speed goes, I have had it at 60 with 2 people on it.
Good luck trouble shooting your issues. On mine I get alot better mileage than my buddies with Polaris.
