Mpg. Test run (Read 143 times)

JESPOKER4FUN YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 30 Henderson, NV Gender:	Mpg. Test run 04/18/10 at 17:55:01 Just came back from a somewhat long ride. Bike was awesome. Avg. speed was 65 mph. My fuel mileage was great, 54 mpg. I have the Jardine Rumbler, Stage 1 Dyno Jet kit and K&N air filter. While cruising in 5th @ 65mph, I rolled on the throttle and that's when I really wanted another gear. Oh well. Had lots of fun.

Test run Reply #2 - 04/18/10 at 18:20:45 I'm still unclear what Suzuki accomplished with that 5th gear. I get 55 mpg at 65 mph and around 51 mpg at 70-75 mph. That's with a four speed. Kay has the five speed, and doesn't seem to do any better on fuel when we ride together.

wow, i just did 100 miles today and got 70 mpg! and thats running 80+ mph, full open throttle at times. i have a cone air filter, open harley exhaust and 153.8 main. i can tell its got no guts in the low, so i'll be getting a 50 pilot jet tomorrow; no fiddling with the spacer yet.
there must be some variable effecting it like topping it off more on the second fill up, otherwise i got the most efficient savage out there Cheesy

Test run Reply #10 - 04/19/10 at 10:20:34 I regularly get 58 mpg on my commute loop (about 80% surface streets/20% highway) on a stock '06 S40. I did have 1 tank of 67 mpg but that was a long ride on country roads averaging 55 mph or less.
