Gas Mileage....?

[Allenson]

82 650G here. I average about 50 mpg and most of my riding is in the 40-60 mph range....

dyno jet with the 132

Yep, definitely in striking range. (I am in the Dayton Mall area.)

I am currently out of state (in the flat, boring, HOT Mississippi Delta) and will be returning either the end of August or first of September.

Will probably have some time to help you before I have to leave town again, so toss me a PM with contact info.

HAS TOOLS...Is ALWAYS traveling...

Take him up on the offer. He'll be nice and make it a quick stop so as not to 'peace off' the other anything.

OH...he "owns" a GS or two!

The last time I filled my GS1000 up I calculated about 57 mpg...

You might want to look into the trip meter malfunction you're experiencing

I redid the calculation... twice since I couldn't believe it myself Exact consumption was 4.17 liters per 100 km, on Austria Styrian roads Not sure anymore if I was using 95 octane or 100 octane.

Best mileage ever attained on a bike of mine was 66.44 mpg on my '83 Nighthawk 650 which had only 10,000 miles on the clock back then. That was mostly at 65 mph on our Interstate, 130 miles. Only one owner before, when bought it it only had 8900 miles and still only the 2nd set of tires ... front was 16 years old and rear was 19 years old (that was 2 years ago). Not even my '03 Gixxer 750 (can probably say R.I.P. here for the Gixxer) ran as well as this bike does.

I would double check your math bud
They didn't do this new with no mods.

They could if everything was tweaked perfectly. From the factory they were tuned for power, not mileage. Cam timing was haphazard but aimed at high RPM horsepower, the low power circuits (the ones used for cruising) were too lean, there were a lot of other factors which cost fuel economy. Suzuki just didn't care about it at that time... Speed sells.

I have ridden a 750/1100 hybrid, 4-1 pipe, very well tuned fast bike, got over 50 accurate mpg.

Different bike:

My R1100 gets over 60 routinely, (if I ride it slow enough, like a whole tank riding at night in the rain or something) why wouldn't some smaller Honda?
Again, if it is all tuned perfectly, it could be that good. Or he could have a crappy odometer.

Well, whatever it was, I know I paid a little over 8 euro for that trip to the sea, while with the Gixxer I would've paid at least 12 EUR and with the GW about 13 EUR (the thirstiest bike in our collection).
