Re: Interesting Kwakas that get good mileage
Nelso my ZRX was like yours when I got it- 13km/L and that meant reserve at around 192km, every time it seems. Got it jetted on the dyno as well as removal of the catalytic convertor (grind three welds in headers under muffler and it's out) and now get 18/19km/L. An extra 120km per tank! Only get 19 when pussing around but more like 16ish when fanging.
300km for a tank now is the usual. Can bank on it.

Sounds about right, I would get the same if wasn't chasing a certain red ZZR600large wrote:On trips, I can always count on at least 320kms out of a tank on my ZZR1100 before I have to hit reserve. I've squeezed out 400 kms out of both, last 47kms was very slow but.

Re: Interesting Kwakas that get good mileage
Best I got out of my ZZR1100 was 487km out of one tank. A licence saving 100km/h trip to Sydney.

GT550 can get 450km out of a tank and it's kinda interesting........

Re: Interesting Kwakas that get good mileage
