After two days of riding (conservative to moderate pace, mostly trail riding, no mud) I gassed up today and calculated the mileage at:

18 mpg.

That's a range of 76 miles, not that great. But since I've never ridden more than 40 miles in a day, it really doesn't matter that much.

 

Thats about right on. I have the larger 5 gallon tank and get 80s mile before I turn to my small reserve.

 

i used to get around 20 mpg w/ my 02. wife can even better w/ her sp450.

 

I've got an 04.5 SP 500 and went 38 miles and burned 2.8 gallons, most of the ride was in low range 2wd, nothing heavy duty. That figures to about 13.5 mpg.

 

100 miles to a tank in 2wd. 20 mpg mines a 96 500. I have a five gallon tank and when I filled it up last it was almost epmty and odometer had 99 miles from last fill up

 

I get about 20 mpg with the machine cruising in 2wd. In the rough stuff I figure about 15 mpg with low AWD action.

 

the wifes 425 magnum going through trails gets 12.5 per gallon, with my 70lb son on the back, my 400i 5spd cat with my 109lb son on the back, same trails got 18.5 per gallon, these were trails only wide enough for 1 wheeler and it was constant up and down,and through rocks

 

When I had my 2001 500ho I got about 25mpg going over the hatfield mccoy mountains-- my brother's 2002 500Ho did just a little better (driver variation) on the same trails.

 

I just checked the mileage of my '07 500 HO Mossy X2. I went 60.1 miles on 2.48 gal. for 24.23 MPG. I had a 2000 and a '05 500 HO and got similar mileage with both. The only negative on the '05 was the 4.25 gal. gas tank.

 

i just got 25 mpg average riding my 400 2 stroke down the highway at 55 mph for about 43 miles. surprised when i filled up, i could of went a lot farther. 5 gal. tank and only used 1.7 gallons.
