My zrx runs much smoother since i did the jets and i get 20 kms per litre, so 5lts per 100k's and thats with fanging it down to apollo bay on the GOR, got the same from my zx9r with 143 hp under me

I'm really lucky to get 200km out of my ZX2R's tank... I normally cruise around at 60 in 3rd, but sometimes switch to 4th... but then I just go 70 or 80 to make is sound around the same revs as when I was doing 60 anyway and end up using more fuel

160km is my worst so far, and 220km is my best.

Anyone know where I should be sitting in regards to revs at 60km/h for commuting purposes in order to be the most economical? Gos? Got another pretty graph for us?

Also, just had to point out how awesomely misleading the topic is

I was genuinely interested as to how you got 315km from a light globe.

The funny thing about my ZZR is that it seems to use roughly the same amount of fuel no matter how I ride. Whether I've been doing city commuting with lots of stop start riding, highway riding sitting in 6th at a steady 100km/h, or had a day chasing after the ksrc crew through the Black Spur in third and fourth revving between 8 and 12,000 rpm, somehow I always seem to hit reserve at about 320km.

Maybe I'm just such a fat heavy bastard the poor Kwaka 250 is always pushed to the limit no matter how fast I'm riding.

I used to get 380kms before reserve on my zzr 250 using optimax (i know I shouldnt, but didnt know wiser, and really, didnt have any problems with the bike)

The ZX10 is funny, on synergy 8000 I get 180 before the light comes on, Ultimate 230, and Vortex 98 215 on average...

These ZXR's must be thirsty...
