MPG - Freddie - 28-03-12
I've had my fazer 2 weeks, just filled up with petrol, 58 mpg :lol superb. What a great bike. It can do it all.
Re: MPG - JZS 600 - 28-03-12
Try using Fuelly for an even smugger attitude, I'm averaging 62 on my daily commute!
Re: MPG - Freddie - 28-03-12
62 ! That's fantastic, I had a R1 before the fazer and it was no where near 58 so I'm well pleased.
Re: MPG - mike26 - 29-03-12
so are you classing a gallon as 4.5 litres or?
Re: MPG - Tefer - 29-03-12
I don't really know my MPG but i am needing fuel today and i wondered what i had done since last fill up, 195 miles on the light and sitting on the last line, not bad i thought.
Re: MPG - JZS 600 - 29-03-12
Fuelly does this for you,,,,,

For the UK yes (4.546 litres), pretty sure the americans have their own gallon... the point of this I do not understand :lol [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)][/color]

Re: MPG - red98 - 29-03-12
x litres by 0.22 to get gallons.......if thats any help to anyone......59 mpg taking it easy,only managed that once
Re: MPG - Fazer Jake - 29-03-12
Jesus 55-62 MPG do you ever have any fun and twist the throttle?
Re: MPG - FuZzBoM - 29-03-12
Out of interest roughly how many miles do you guys get out of a tank? With my last 41mpg outing I got 158 miles till the light came on.
Re: MPG - JZS 600 - 29-03-12
Dunno, really, never done a tank.
130 miles every 2 days up and down to London and been between 8.9 and 9.6 liters a fill.
Speed between 60 and 90+ dependant on traffic flow, although I "maintained" the cam chain the other day with a blast up to 120.
All A road miles mostly with a bit of filtering, or making progress officer!
Re: MPG - Dead Eye - 29-03-12
I get just under 55 MPG - always have a bit of fun on mine
Usually get about 200 miles out of a tank right down to the last marker on the gauge but i can let it go lower than that just :p
Re: MPG - chunk166 - 29-03-12
Well i'm not to sure how to work it all out but on my trip to Lincolnshire last week & i managed to do 170 miles,about 13.5 litres of fuel cost about £20 & today i filled up with 195 on the clock & it cost £23 that was about 15 or so litres, tbh i'm really happy with how economical the FZS600 Fazer is
Re: MPG - mike26 - 29-03-12

I keep a careful record (sad, I know) and consistently get circa 60 mpg. I don't often ride as enthusiastically as some people but I still enjoy it, something to do with age and valuing life a bit more probably.
I think most get between 50 and 60 mpg. Is your air filter o.k.. Also check that the fuel enriching things on the carbs are closing properly when the lever in in the normal run position. Some times referred to as the choke.
Re: MPG - Fazer Jake - 29-03-12
i get 45-50 as i've got an aftermarket can and a K&N and motad downpipes.
Previous to the mods it was 50+ easy
Re: MPG - unfazed - 29-03-12
I get about 50 most of the time to and from work,but have on a few spirited occasions hit low 40s and wandering through south of France last year with 2 up got 66. On a track day it has never dropped below 40.
Only mods are K&N Filter and Iridium plugs.
Re: MPG - mike26 - 29-03-12
i think i maybe i get more just seem to be putting it in alot be i only put £5 in at a time tbh
