Fuel Consumption

Post by niffter »

Hi,
was wondering if anyone could let me know the average mileage that they get from a full tank on a standard NC30 for general road riding. I understand this varies depending on riding style.
Thanks.

It'll vary depending on riding style and bike setup etc but i get just over 100 miles to a tank before flicking to reserve, but that's when pootling backwards and forwards to work through the traffic.

I get 250km from a full tank -> Reserve (156 miles)

Thats on my NC24 though.. it's set-up properly and it doesn't hang about.. although it is mainly motoroway / long a-roads i use the VFR on.

I start looking for a petrol station after 100 miles, had about 130 before and still didn't hit reserve. But that was taking it steady on motorways to and from work.

nc30,nc30 carbs,120 jets, FI needles, yamamoto/custom twin stack = 220kms
nc30,nc35 carbs,115 jets yamamoto/custom stack = 200kms

i'd like to see 250kms out of a stock bike.

I get around 95 miles on my restricted bike. I got 114 couple of weeks ago. Sounds really loud when its running out of fuel though.
