48 miles to the tank is not very good. how many miles do you have on it. mine has about 600 miles on it and it goes about 100 miles before i need to switch to the reserve. And i ride it hard i am always on the gas hard and run my machine hard. I always set the trip meter on mine when i fill it up.

I have a '00 450-S. It gets 45-65 miles to a tank, varies greatly with the conditions. Lots of mud, or snow I get 45-50 to the tank. Dry, easy trails, just "puttin'" along I can get 60-65 to a tank. I believe the tank holds 3.25 gal, incl. reserve of .7 gal., I am not positive about these figures. It has been a while since I looked them up. Check your owner's manual.

 

I agree with trx450's reply. However, I don't necessarily keep up with the miles per gallon. I have a 2000 Foreman ES, and I ride primarily in mud or snow and usually ride 5 - 6 hours at a time and I have never ran out of gas yet. I fill up before I ride, and sometimes I'm at about 1/4 or less tank of gas when i'm finished, but after my first ride I realized that i didn't really have to worry about running out of gas. Now if you are gonna be riding for many miles for a entire day, that's probably a different story, but just riding trails and not going on a "journey" should be be no problem with one tank of gas.

 

I have a Foreman S and i get about 50- to 55, and i think im runnin it dry.

 

I get aound 40 to 50 miles before I switch to reserve on my Rubicon and 450,not to bad since I do alot of stop and go driving here on the farm.
