Well...not really though the gauge said empty...

Just wondering what hours/mileage others are getting on their 350 & 420 ranchers (2 or 4wd). I'm need to know as I'm planning a 25-30 mile trial ride soon

 

Hondas have pretty small tanks 3.6 US gallons,after 80 miles your riding on luck.

 

After 80 miles your riding on luck.

lol...Now is that the gas tank size for either/or?

I suspect the dealer put only 1 gallon of gas (just guessing) upon the sale of the 420, and under 11 miles & maybe 4.5 hrs when I hit reserve level.

 

The 350 has a 3.5 gallon tank the 420 has the 3.6, both ATV should get around 25mpg. I ride with a 500 Foreman (4.1 gallon tank) I have seen that ATV go 90 miles on one fill up.

Even though the 420 has a larger more powerful motor than the 350 its EFI will give it about the same gas milage.

 

I can drive almost all day on my 420 and reach about empty (11am to 10pm.) I look at it by hours not miles sense 420FM has no speedometer. Plus with gas tank full from start and some stops (not none stop.)

And you have those extra large tires that have to reduce you fuel mileage maybe 15%

 

HEY don't forget the PCIII more gas for power now also about to upgrade to Gorilla Silverback 27"! I ride all day, the 420 is very fuel efficient. I'm not sure how yall ride but like I said I can ride about all day 11 or 12 morning to 11 at night. Include a full tank from start and some rest every now and then. I'll reach empty about the end of the day but never had to fill her up or even use the reserve.

 

Can't wait!!! I'm getting 27" but the one in the pic is a 32"



If not I'll go with a less aggressive Maxxis Zilla

 

Dang Amuro

If your tires keep gettin bigger, you going to float across the creeks and rivers might need a prop or a at least a paddle [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

lol trust me the tires I'm putting on is nothing compare to some other 420 owners that have on their bike and I mean they got 30" and 32"tires on their 420. My limit are 27" no bigger then that!
