Your best range ever from one tank

Hi,

I once got 308 km before reserve (13/2L) on my XT600, going from Maree to
Birdsville. That eqates to 23.69km/L !!

More typical was 260-280km.

I've since put a 14 sprocket on the front so that's dropped to about 240km.

So, 308km is my best.

I'd be very interested in hearing from not only other XT600 owners, but all
motorcyclists.

600 kilometres to reserve R100GSPD (35 litres)

420 kilometres R1100S (24 litres)

K100RT & Sidecar 500 kilometres (55 litres)

Boxer

 

429 on the FJR, two-up. Palm Beach to Toowoomba to Brisbane to Toowoomba
again.

Best was 180 klms to low fuel warning light at EC for a track day.
Most boring was 260 and still running riding very slow into Temora after
warning light came on at 220. Almost did a Clem that night.

 

12.25-12.75L (done on three occasions now) over 272km along Hume Hwy
between BP Wangaratta and Shell Gundagai, sitting on between 120 and 160
most of the way.

 

470 from 15L going to NT from Broom. Had to go slow as it was a
long way to the next servo.

Wow! I didn't know the bypass was finished!

My GPz250 regularly got 35km/l on a 30km commute.

I kept looking for the snorkel it was using to run off other people's
exhaust fumes.

480 kms on a Kawasaki Concours (grey market GTR1000), I was using it for
commuting and the fuel gauge had been sitting on empty for three days
when I filled it up.

Most of the way, Hamish, most of the way...

 

24.16km/L on the Harley from Marree to Birdsville...

 

280 k's on 17 lts Glendambo to Coober Pedy fully loaded ZZR1100 16.47 kpl
320k's on 19 lts touring around Victorianot loaded ZZR1100 16.84 kpl
Being loaded (gear sack, tank bag tent, swag didn't make much difference.

 

bullshit ,

shitcatis dont get 400 miles without breaking down

oh i get it now it did 300 miles in the ute

 

304 kays of the mzain tank of my trx850 , before it died and i had to switch
to reserve

14.5 litre tank from memory

 

So you're saying you got 400mpg and had a 4 gallon tank, which means you
got 1600 miles from a 4gallon tank of juice on an MIII ducati...

I'd call that bullshit myself.

Yeah, ridden gently I could get 340 to reserve out of the trx (I'm a bit
lighter and more aerodynamic than you corks

90km on a 12.5 litre tank. So about 14L/100km. ktm380.

499.8km to bone dry on the XT6 with a 21 liter Ascerbis tank (and it woulda
been a long push to the next servo if it wouldn't have been for the 5l jerry
can)
Fully packed and trying to run with the sporties all day (meaning twistgrip
was gaffer-taped .
390km outta the V-Strom, fully packed and touring. (21 liters)

 

My DR750 used to get 400ish.

Not bad for a dirt bike...
