We're going on an all day ride Tuesday and I'm wondering how long will my tank of gas last?

Also, seems after riding for an hour or so it gets hot. What oil should I use to keep temps down. (Supposed to be 90 degree's that day)

 

my 99 big bear will run about 8 hours non stop on a full tank. its only 2 gallons. make sure your oil cooler isnt stopped up with mud first, and i would use 10w40 Yamalube.

 

Thanks a bundle!!! I think I have a 3.4 gallon tank so I should be running somewhere over 10 hours. I really doubt I'll ride that long! haha

 

Well of course it depends on you riding style. The more spinning your wheels do, the faster you go, etc will make a difference. My 450 will go about 66 miles before I have to turn on reserve. If I drive an average of 10mph I guess it would last 6 or 7 hours. If I drove 40mph it wouldn't last as long.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
