I just purchased an 04 grizzly and in the 45 miles I have put on it sure seems to be a gas hog. How many miles should I be able to get out of a tank ?? I know it makes a difference how you drive it so lets say 90 % cruising and 10% WOT. I didn't buy it for economy, But I was just wondering if I need to purchase a portable gas station. Thanks for any input.

 

The gas gauge on my griz can go a long way past what the gauge says I have run the thing with the E blinking for miles and still have never run out of gas and never used the reserve...

 

Yah I ride around 3 trips with one tank, about 65 miles.

 

Wait till it breaks in. When I first got my sp, I could only get about 25-30 miles to a tank. Like this weekend I set my trip before we started riding, when we got done it said 30 miles. I still had over 2/3 tank. You will get lots better fuel milage after you break you quad in. Maybe that will make you feel better.

 

how you like the SP? I almost got one instead of the grizz, but the grizzly's look won me over.

 

Honestly, I love it. Grizzlies are great bikes, but personly I liked the sp looks better. Also the huge comfy seat, smooth ride and the Polaris AWD system. I'm sure your Grizz is faster, stronger than my sp, but mine does well enough for me. I also liked the 600 Twin engine on the Polaris. The sp was cheaper too, and it had a winch, so I got a good deal. If I didnt have a Polaris, I would get a Suzuki or a Grizzly.

 

Just got back from riding today, about 70 miles or so and i it's still on the solid "E" not blinking yet... My kodiak 400 gets about the same distance as my grizzly on a tank of gas (different capacities)

 

Just got back from a ride this weekend and did about 60 miles and still plenty of gas left. Figured out mileage once and it got 18-19 miles to the gal. after is was broke in.

 

Thanks for the replies. Mine is getting better the more I drive it.

 

I got 85 miles on mine before I had to turn it over to reserve! Like "RaptorRy" stated the gauge will show empty way before the tank will! I've had the take say it was empty and I only put in 3.2 gallons of gas. In a 5.4 gallon tank!
