Another question from a new savage rider
08/13/10 at 17:30:40
Just wondering how many miles people are getting on their tank of gas before having to switch over to reserve? I have been averaging around 100 is that good, bad, average? The bike is an 01 Savage with 3600 miles on it. Thanks for the input.

I look for a gas station at 100 miles but I don't hit reserve until 120+ miles.

1996 Savage. Stock except for 1/2 turn more CCW on idle circuit screw (essentially fixed the backfiring). Gets ~50 mpg. Looking for a gas station at 100 miles. My Bandit 1200S gets only about 3 mpg less.

Stock '97 & I hit reserve at almost exactly 100 miles, but I'm 6'2"325, so I'm asking a lot of it.

With a wipe off marker I put my milage on my gas cap, so at about 120 miles I look to get gas. I get 61mpg.

The general rule is 50mpg.
I live in 45mpg country, not a flat road here, some perdy steep.
But I did one tank at relatively flatter riding, and forced myself to stay out of heavy throttle range, and got middle 50s. IMO, no one gets 60+ and had any fun doing it

Routy put that spacer back in and go to richer high speed jet and you will have more power and better MPG.

I tried that. 155 main, full spacer. It didn't cruise well, had a bucking/surging issue at 1/8 to 1/4 throttle.
Putting a half spacer in did cost me some MPG, but it cruises much smoother.
To answer the original question: about 100 miles to reserve
More if it's highway miles, less if it's city miles or short rides.
