    Fuel Efficiency poll

    I'm curious to see the distribution of what people get with their bikes. It seems like my mpg is lower than most of the anecdotes I see reported here. I typically get 130-135 miles by the time I hit the reserve, which ends up being 4 gallons, for ~33 mpg (about 7.2 L/100km for people from...

    Tips to maximize MPGs?

    Hello all, So I noticed that when I actually do the speed limit (ha ha) on the freeway my MPG went up. Doing 65 MPH for a 300 mile stretch nets me about 58-59 miles per gallon at about 5500 RPM. When I was going faster I was only getting about 50 MPG. I went back and looked at posts to the...

    06 Fazer MPG issues

    I looked and looked and found a great super clean Red 06 FZ6 with 3800 miles on it. I took it to Kent Power Sports to give it a look over before the purchase.

    Saving Gas- Riding in 6th at 40 mph?

    I have read a lot of posts where people are getting 200 miles(320k) out of a tank of gas. Recently I decided to try and see how far I could go. So I rode around in town mostly in 5th or 6th gear in the 30-40 mph(48-64kph) range. On the highway I tried to keep it under 80mph(128kph). I...

    Better MPG

    On any bike I have ever owned, I always wanted a taller top gear. My 05 FZ6 spins around 5kRPM at 60 MPH. I have changed out a countershaft (front) sprocket before to save the cash that the rear costs. I am looking to go a tooth up to a 17 or an 18 prior to stepping down a few teeth in the...
