No noticeable difference between regular and premium petrol. 4.5 to 6.5 lires per 100 kilometres, depending on riding style. 90 km/h in sixth gear, open road, that's minimum consumption. 160 km/h motorway cruising is most fuel consuming for my fzs (didn't do enough "track" riding to measure consumption in that fun mode). 99% of the time it takes between 15 and 17 litres after 300 kilometres of riding.

Last 2 fill Ups were 55.37mpg and 64.55 mpg, and definitely correct with the maths.

has anyone else wondered about a bike bulit around this engine?

Freddie · « **Reply #81 on:** 19 May 2012, 05:13:54 pm »

I know I can't believe the mpg myself, but I have tripled checked my maths and its definitely right !!

ElkWorks · « **Reply #82 on:** 24 May 2012, 01:45:58 pm »

mine seems to be averaging about 63mpg now, regardless how i ride it!

HarryHornby · « **Reply #83 on:** 24 May 2012, 02:50:34 pm »

Well my bike has surprised me, I've recently started using fuelly.com after seeing a link on another foccer's signature. I've done 3 fill ups now, the first was when it was really wet, therefore I was riding conservatively, the second was a mix of wet and fine, but still being a good boy and over these 2 fill ups I was getting 59 mpg, so I was very pleased with that.

Up until today's fil up the weather has been fab, the bike had a scenic run home the other day, nothing too fast, but more high revs than over the past couple of weeks, more overtakes, quick acceleration, heavy braking etc etc.......61mpg, 2 mpg better!

So, does that mean, to be green I have to give it some on the bike rather than ride conservatively????

Happy days!

I usually get 54mpg and it never seemed to vary much. The tankful before last I decided to take things a bit slower to see if it reduced fuel consumption, and it did, slightly: an excellent 56mpg. I intended to continue gentle riding with the last fill-up, but sort of got bored with it and reverted to my usual style... and got 253 miles out of the 18 litres I'd stuck in there. That's 30 miles more than I'd normally get and equates to 63mpg. Weird.
A generous fuel pump was one possible explanation, but I'd not run the tank unusually low before the fill-up, I'd not have expected to get more than 18 litres in.
So I've no idea what's going on.
Not that I'm complaining, I look forward to finding out what the current tankful returns.

Since I've started Fuelly I've noticed that communting between 70 - 80 I get up to 64MPG

3 figure thrapping goes down to 56.

I think it's brilliant,,,,,,,,,

ott the day filled the 1000 away for a gid play mate was road testin a few bikes

from light on to light on 110 miles

Fazerider · « **Reply #87 on:** 03 June 2012, 08:44:37 am »

I've realised the likely cause of my unexpectedly good tankful: I didn't fill up at my usual place and the forecourt was on slope.
It may be that I was able to get a full 18 litres in because it didn't reach the neck quite so soon with more of the wide front part of the tank available. It would have probably only been a 17 litre fill at my normal place, so the tank was fuller than normal on account of the previous (gentler riding) tankful being more economical than I'd thought.
There are just too many ways to cock up the measurements for an accurate figure to be found from an individual tankful. I guess the rolling figure on Fuelly is the best way to gauge consumption as that way the inaccuracies will average out. It does require patience though, I struggled to change my riding style for one tankful... I don't think I'd attempt it for ten.

I have been keeping track of the mpg figures on fuelly for last year and a bit - so over 18.5k kilometers (approx 11k miles), I am averaging 64.3 mpg or 4.4 l/100km. 70% of the 11k miles are on M1 (Dublin, Ireland), 30% slower roads and/or stop and go Dublin traffic. I am 5' 11" / 180 cms, and weigh about 15 st/95kgs, and run 40 psi rear and 36 psi front.

Here's my fuelly link: https://www.fuelly.com/driver/positron/fazer-600

ElkWorks · « **Reply #90 on:** 19 July 2012, 01:56:18 pm »

as a rough average, 9 out of 10 of my fillups are around the 63,64mpg average. not bad, but still not touching my thundercats 65-70mpg average.

i suppose its the lack of fairing.

Lawrence · « **Reply #91 on:** 19 July 2012, 02:46:53 pm »

I'm averaging about 60-61mpg, 61 miles each way to/from work with around 35 of that being nsl dual carriageway, the rest being 50/40/30 limits into central London.

Andy FZS · « **Reply #92 on:** 19 July 2012, 04:59:51 pm »

I might not get as many MPG as some prople but I can make a tank full last a month

I stick half a tank in every day

2400 miles/month commuting, 3 miles each way would be a joy

davedee69 · « **Reply #94 on:** 20 July 2012, 11:20:37 am »

I think i get about 45mpg, 15litres will do 150 miles , purely used for fun, never filled it and ran it to empty so not sure what i'll get to a tank but about 200miles i expect.

Dead Eye · « **Reply #95 on:** 20 July 2012, 12:14:42 pm »

I track at about 54 MPG every time I fill up but I don't use mine for commuting at all anymore so it's purely for fun and getting to places when there is heavy traffic

When i first passed me test four months ago I was getting late 50's to 60's mpg. Now I ride more proggressively

and virtually redline it from second upwards and have got a top end of 146 on sunday. im now getting 48mpg im very happy

NotAnotherHill · « **Reply #98 on:** 27 August 2012, 11:08:17 am »

Last week did a big trip round Scotland. 1150 miles. According to my calculations, I was getting somewhere between 72 to 77 mpg. Most of the riding was steady 60 to 70 mph. Spectacular scenery and fantastic roads.

Wookee · « **Reply #99 on:** 28 August 2012, 11:20:49 am »

I've just had my first MPG for my 03 from Fuelly and it was 52, which I was quite pleased with until I read some of the above! I commute 15 miles each way on a mix of roads, but I'm a hefty 17 stone so I guess that's a big factor.

I've just fitted a Blueflame end can and the baffle mysteriously fell out

.... do end cans affect mpg figures??
