I find on my P650 ifI run it hard I get bad mileage, my fuels runs out about twice as fast. The goes for the V-Force, we love to mash the throtle because it has awesome low end power and the CVT deceives us. We rarely really need that much power, thats why the mileage is so crappy. But thats the price you pay to have fun.

I heard on the DS 650 a bigger carb can provide more power yet get better mileage. With the '05 V-Force around the corner I wonder if this maybe the case with it having larger carbs. More power? Better mileage?

 

Or maybe an EFI system could be replacing the carbs, like rumors are for the now probable 2005 Prairie 750EFI.

 

I think it was confirmed the '05 KFX700 will have bigger carbs. I think they will test EFI out on the Praire first, if it sells and works well they will probably move it over to the KFX700. Lets just hope they don't make the EFI so we can't tamper with it.
