Fuel Consumption

[bear]

Has anyone used the built in fuel consumption meter on the 99 model?
If so, how do you use it??
Cheers

Mines a 2001, and i think it works on an
Litre's per average per 100k's
Eg: 15klms to 1 litre,
Help me out anyone, its been awhile since i cared lookin at that settin screen

It's pretty easy, It doesn't give an instantaneous read, only what you are averaging. It will show either litres per 100km or Km per litre.

It resets when you reset the trip meters.
You have 2x trip meters. So you can monitor 2x different lots of economy. Ie reset one for a tank refill, and reset the other when out for a fang. Or don't reset one at all so you get an average over the life of the bike.

I haven't used it in a while so this is bad memory guess work.
just push the little button and it toggles from , Trip 1 L/100km, Trip 1 km/litre, Trip 2 L/100km, Trip 2 km/litre.

Like I said, haven't done it in like 5 years, so I may be off a little, but that should get you on the right track.

I miss this feature not being on the Gen 2's. :-(

Haven't we got it on the gen2? .. I wouldn't have a clue what gizmos the gen2 has. Must read that manual someday
I haven't touched the trip meter(s) since I bought it, nor have I touched anything else (haven't even set the clock, its still in Japan time). I DID use the horn the other day ..

Pretty sure the feature is not there on the gen 2. I just had to look up how to do the clock time for daylight saving. U hold down the two buttons for a few secs and then the clock will start flashing. Click the left button to adjust and the right to save again.

Thanks guys, will give it a try.
I guess it's covered in an owners manual (which I don't have!)

My run to Jurien and back seemed to average around 5.8 km/100 l.

Bear, if you hold the button in for a few seconds, it'll switch from litres/100km to km/litre

Is that hold the button for a few seconds once on the fuel consumption screen Pan?
Have previously toggled though the settings but didn't realise km/litre was an option.
I must pay better attention.

Spot on Kendo

Just read my post, I meant 5.8l / 100km! Sorry!

Have found that if you keep to 90-100 with no hard acceleration or braking you can get the consumption down to low 5's. Best I have gotten is 5.1/100 BUT it is a goddam BORING ride on a bike that just screams FAAAAAAAAAST!!!! and thats even for a slow ass like me LOL

Hi

Mounted with my bags I'm at 6.8 l / 100km.
Otherwise I sit around a 5.8 l 6.2l / 100km.

I drive it very sporty as I can.
