Gumby Fuel Consumption
Got 160 Km before the light came on & there is meant to be 4 odd ltr left left in the tank, I refueled & put in 13 Ltr so my question to other gumby owners.... is this normal consumption for mixed city / twisty riding?

Re: Gumby Fuel Consumption
Did you get the Gumby for its fuel consumption Rob?
I would take it back on the grounds of false advertising especially because it uses more than a 6

Re: Gumby Fuel Consumption
All depends how hard u ride & where. I got 300 out of mine on a freeway run. Boring but ok. A spirited run in the twisties sees the light on at 180-200

Re: Gumby Fuel Consumption
Thats about all i got out of mine when it was on the road, mixed riding as u described, i once ran it out... on purpose to see what i got from full to running out, from memory it was 195 of 205 Ksfireyrob wrote:Yep thats about what I used to get on the Gumby.
Funny tho, after the pipes, pipercross race filter and custom mapped PC3, it got worse... i thort it may have got a tad better.
The light does come on very early.. pain in the arse now, as i only run enough fuel per session, and the light comes on after a lap or so.

Re: Gumby Fuel Consumption
I never go overboard when filling mine and normally see 185 before the light comes on.
According to the maual, light coming on should leave you with 5ltrs till empty
