16l tank fuel economy?

[gissmo50]

well ive just checked my paperwork from when i brought the bike and yes it was on a dyno the same time it had the hyperpro suspension fitted but it was done back in 2001 and god knows how much has changed over on the bike since then.

I get 125-130 to the light and about 115 giving some , hi flo filter, Beowulf cans
Happy bunny !!

[gissmo50]

Ok now this is getting upsetting lol

[Virt]

I reckon I could get about 170 before any light came on

60 miles is shocking though. Even for a bike as uneconomical as the 'storm

[gissmo50]

Im starting to see a theme with your responses guys lol

Im gonna book her in with h m racing in Edenbridge get them to dyno her and tell me whats going on if its the carb set up or something else wrong with the bike.

Don't forget that if you have had your gearing reduced then your odometer will over read too, so some of the mielages quoted may be a bit optimistic, but yours is way wrong!

[gissmo50]

gearing is changed but corrected with a speedo healer and reads right compared to gps and missus following in a car. easyiest way for me to find out is a dyno so will get one done and go from there

who cares!!! keep filling it up and ride, you dont ever buy a storm for fuel economy.

[gissmo50]

your right i didnt buy it for the fuel economy but there is bad economy then there is what i have.....

128-fuel light on. did 10 miles and put 13.5 litres in. 16 litre tank. mainly motorway at 70-80mph.Thats over 40mpg.So they aint that bad on fuel. My aprilia tuono was a lot worse!

Al what was the difference at crossgates when we filled up between our bikes/riding styles

it was 92miles on my clocks and i used 10.7l and you used 12.something …...and we both covered the same distance [well my back wheel did] and we must have been using the same amount of throttle asI had mine against the stop a few times, so couldn't have used it much more.

the next fill up back at ludlow I noticed they were much closer in usage, but we were also at lower milage
