Fuel Range Questionaire

Postby Duane » Fri Jun 09, 2006 2:33 pm

Hey people. I need some info when it comes to selecting my next bike.

I need to know the fuel range of a full tank

all years of zx9r, zx6r, zx636r's, z750 & z1000, also wouldnt mind hearing about the ER6N (not that i think i'd go that route).


Cheers

I have an '00ZX9R..

Around town, I get approx 225-240km before reserve

On the highway, I have gotten as much as 320km before reserve..

Fuel tank size is: 14.9l main tank, 4.1l reserve...

Yesterday, after a mix of highway and town, I filled up at 311km, and it took 18.54lt..

I got 250 or so before reserve on my '99 ZX9R. 300 or so dry.
180 before reserve if I was pushing things.

Who gives a stuff about tank range and fuel economy?

I do 500k a week and probably spend a little under $30 on fuel. If I were driving a car, I'd expect to be throwing $60-80 into the tank. If the tank range is low - fill upo more often :lol:

The areas a bike loses against a car is in tyres and service cost. Find a reliable bike that is easy on tyres (which are a comon size) and it's all good.

All these numbers need to be take with a grain of salt, it all depends on riding style and type of roads your on.

Case in point, Andi's getting the above figures.

Me on pretty much the same bike (albeit with my extra 36cc) will see 250 - 280 before reserve "usually", have never seen below 230, and at most saw 325 before reserve on a 100k freeway dribble.
