How are you other guys getting 80 and 100 miles out of a tank of fuel on a 650??? I start sucking fumes at about 65 miles, I've gotten as poor as 45 mpt on hard running.

 

Right now I get between 15-25mpg. It all depends on the terrain I'm riding in. Riding a Rincon.

 

I get around 100km (66miles) per tank on the Kaw 650, depending on where and who's driving (me or my evil twin[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]). The gas really starts to disappear once I get over 85kph(50mph).

Yam8, I can see your point with the long trips. It's sucks having to drag gas cans with you, although I wouldn't trade an ounce of "big bore" fun[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] for better mileage.

 

Here`s the results of gas mileage from our recent trip to WNF.
97 Foreman 400................68 mi.....2.5 gal?
98 Scrambler 500...............49.........4.0?
02 Sportsman 500.............56..........5.0?
02 Sportsman 700.............44..........5.0?

The mileage is when each machine hit reserve according to odometer on the Honda. The riding was slow, technical, hilly and muddy with lots of playin in the deep mud.

Not very impressive for any of them I think but we got 6 to 7 hrs of riding before the Polaris`s needed fueling.

 

A down fall for the Rubicon. They only have a 3.6 gallon tank including the one gallon reserve. So at 20 mgh, a happy average, thats only 70 miles on a tank full. Usually run the main tank out between 50 and 55 miles and have a gallon left. If we don't take gas, we head back when we hit about 40 miles from the staring point.

The SP 500s in our group go the same distance on a tank of gas that we do. They switch over to their reserve about the same time, but they use more fuel to go the same distance. Our Rancher gets better mileage, it does about 100 miles per tank, 3.4 gallons including reserve.

 

i have heard the sportsman 700 getting 15 miles to the gallon or less!!
my rancher i ride it really hard and i get bout 100 or so for the whole tank it depends on octane i use 93 i notice a milage differance when i use lowest octane gas and a little performance diff

Do you guys know what kind of mileage a Suzuki Vinson 500 does ???

Thanks

 

I installed a street legal kit from littlefootconversionc.com on my 02 650 kaw and I get about 118 miles to a tank.I have over 3000 miles
on it so far and love it

 

My Recon got around 40mpg. I'm afraid to figure out the gas mileage on my Foreman.

 

I'm not sure what my Kodiak 450 gets for mileage, but it's way better than the 96' Big Bear 4x4 that we own! The best thing on gas must have been those Honda 250 Big Red Trikes!
