Average klm's

[Wanted]

Hey Ladies/Gents,
Just a quick on all what is the average fuel economy of a Hayabusa and what are people generally getting per tank?? On the highway that is?? And do they play with the fuel mixtures on the bike at the first service??

Any info would be gladly appreciated

Cheers

Hi Wanted,
I had a 99 busa for 3 years and averaged 18.5 k/ltr.
On my Gen II, I have just completed the first 1000 ks and have averaged 19.5 k/ltr.

There is no fuel adjustment at the first or subsequent services on the K8.
They are set at the factory and controlled by the ECU for all the environmental input sensors to regulate the fuel.

Shane - it depends on how hard you twist the wrist mate, my '99 two up with luggage will get close to 350klm sitting on 110kmh in top gear on the freeway.

Once you start pushing it up the mountain, swapping cogs and powering out of corners it usually drops down around 250klm to the tank.

As long as your bike is regularly serviced and is well mapped then you should be able to get pretty good fuel consumption all up.

The only variable is your right wrist

Cheers Ruffy

Hi,

I push it hard and get a regular of 14.5k/ltr.

Thanks guys I was just looking at the fuel gauge get zapped and I am doing over 200klms per day on the highway... Well I guess I will see what happens and I will lay off the throttle as much as I can :(

At a track day, it suprised me jst how quick you can get through a tank of fuel.

230 - 240 before the fuel light comes on, never push her past 50kays with the light on. She tells me she's doing low 14s/ltr. I know when she's about dry as she has a purch and a miss when I hit her away from a light - then very very gentle until a servo. That's around town. 350+ on the road when we're behaving!

when the light comes on I generally take that as 75k's left in tank at best, ie 5 litres @ say 15 k's per L. Usually comes on at around the 240 mark. So when over 300 Im a little panicky and l make sure am close to a refuel spot.

Im averaging 270-280 a tank, but majority of my riding is avoiding the freeway and going the twistyer back roads so its generally at full steam.

Ummm, Heidi would be the guru on fuel consumption I believe

There is that, I was holding the record for the worst fuel consuption ever for a while there. it is good to be the best at something!!

Heidi,
Can you beat 155klm out of a full tank???

On the highway in a straight line at sensible speeds? I can match it.

I posted to this thread and a few other the other day, and they appear to have disappeared.,..... spooky.

I travel 170km a day on the freeway (most not all on freeway). I travel between 110-140km/h with a massive bag on the back, and I get about 350km per tank with regular.
