hey guys hows the mileage on a tank of fuel on your 05 brutes?? mine sucks 28 - 30 miles per tank and i am not happy with the seeming lack of power anyone else having issues - love the machine!!!

 

I can say I havent really checked mine, I dont want to or I will get pissed. I can say I am getting better than 30 miles to the tank though.

The machine does have a lot of power, I cant stand it up easily like some people can, but hopefully a cdi and a new set of tires (lots of wheel spin) will take care of that problem.

 

I just got back from riding in Utah and I got 72 miles on a tank and still had about .4 gallons left that was running rich and not babying it too much going up the hill and ***** to the wall going downhill. I would think you could get 80 miles per tank if you used your head (but thats not fun LOL).

 

Hey prairie,

What did you do to get yours running rich? Rejet?

I think mine is running a little lean.

 

i only have 141 ks on mine and i can go 100 ks on a tank but it could chang some yet once its fully broke in!

 

Yeah I had mine rejetted when I got the cdi and exhaust mod done.

 

my brute depending on how hard im riding the lite comes on about 40 to 60 mi and itll go to 70 to 104 miles the 104 was it i ran out winter is a little worse because of snow but ive never put less than 60 on a tank of gas maybe you have a problem my buddy has a rincon and his is just a little better but my tank is larger so hell run out first your miles per gal is less than 6 no way

 

If you take the white breather out of the tank when you fill up you can get another gallon in your tank

Did you remove yours? If so, do you get more pressure resulting from this?

My buddy has the 750 and we ride in low 99% and he gets 110km per tank where my 700 only gets 70km per tank. Having said this I punch it and powerslide around every curve. The 750 cannot powerslide at all so he can only watch as I burn my fuel. LOL

 

I have not noticed anymore pressure, i haven't filled it when it has been really hot thou
