Hey every body, to day i checked for the fun of it how many miles per gallons my KVF650 was doing, man it horrible 14 miles/US gallons, That is ridiculus for a quad, does any of you guts have the same mileage/ gallon, is this normal????

I get 70-80 miles on a tank of gas. With all the power, its easy to drain the tank.

A hair under 15 miles per gallon with mine also. Who cares, its only money. Fill the tank up and ride the hell out of it until its time to fill up again.

Thats my take.

yup,
about the same..but I'm not complanin'
lets see now...my truck gets 16 mpg. about 13-14 pullin a 6x12 trailer...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
about 36 on my bike [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
I can take 32 cents/mi on taxes on truck # 4 whlr
I can take 0 on the scooter
which is more fun to ride:
1) scooter
2) 4 whlr
3) truck
4) trailer
Go figure...I learned a long time ago performance & gas milage don't exist together..
I dropped down 4 mpg on the bike, but the smilage factor went up a bunch...

Hé OK I juste wanted to be sur it was normal. I'm not complaining, I love the power and every thing, I had a snowmobile (ZR500) and did 13 MPG When not beating the it hehe.

We got to love that power [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
