KFX 700 Gas Milage that bad?
My first tank, the light came on in about an hour! Scared the heck outta me, dang gas hog. Now with 35-40 hours, It has gotten alot better. On a 21 mile loop at hatfield mccoy I used 2.4 gallons trying to keep up with a cannondale. That machine used .9 gallons, so yea, the mileage stinks.

I too could use a bigger gas tank on my Prairie 650! Even at 4.5 gallons, my P650 will eat it up (that is, gas) but gee whiz, we all do have 2 cylinders, don't we?
My 1st P650 a '02 model low was 16mpg,high 18.5. My '03 is better with a high of 22mpg but I don't have your hot igniter box either, at least not yet, still waiting on the DG CDI unit. The P650's are putting out 31hp to the rear wheels & I think I saw a test somewhere that the VForce was putting out 40hp at the wheels, so that right there will use more fuel, as I can't see too many of you just poking along. Sounds like many of you need to bolt on a spare gas can, of course for us P650 owners that isn't a problem with racks, as I Always bring along my 3.25 gallon fuel pack.
I did see a article a ways back in one of the ATV magazines about a company that will make a larger gas tank for just about any atv, did any of you see this article?

The gas mileage isnt the best but i doesnt bother me that bad for the power it is well worth it.
However it wont hurt it to have a aftermarket gas tank. Ive had mine for over 2 weeks and i have had to fill it up 4 times already. Its not as good as my old warriors were but im ok with it.

I go through gas like crazy in mine. The first day I rode it I was getting an hour and forty minutes before the light came on. I can't really tell if it's getting better yet, Tuesday night I was out running logging roads with a couple of gravel pits mixed in, and the light came on after an hour on the second tank of the day.(5th tank since I've had it) Last night I was riding tight woods trails with a motocross track mixed in and I got an hour and 40 mins out of the first tank, and used about 1/2 of the second tank in 45 mins or so. Tonight I'm resting my screaming shoulders, that MX track(un-maintained, very rough) was killer on that big machine, although after a few laps, finding the lines, I was able to hammer down not bad, I might go play with my suspension after supper and see if I can get it to handle the moguls a bit better, although I like the way it feels on every other terrain.
