Fuel economy info

[tim332211]

Just thought I would share a bit of info with you all.
I have a Transalp 650 year 2000 model and am now getting increased mileage (reduced fuel consumption) after doing the following.

• Installing a K & N air filter (better breathing and more guts at higher revs).
• Changing the front sprocket to 16 teeth .

I now average 60mpg (was 55mpg). These are fairly accurate figures, measured after filling the tank many times. My GPS also coresponds with the bike odometer within 1%.
The higher gearing also makes for more relaxed cruising on faster roads.
Regards
Tim

If you search the forum you'll find a multitude of threads on this subject, I myself regularly get 60+ mpg on a good run, with the right gearing etc there are numerous different results.
Welcome to the forum by the way, might be worth introducing yourself in the "let me introduce myself" thread. And good choice of bike.

I switched to the Piper Cross filter for the same reasons.
I have also put a 16 tooth front sprocket on the bike, now I have replaced the discs and pads I hope to get great mileage on TLD 2010.

I am not getting 60+mpg however I have std from sprocket but do have a K&N. I thought I would share that recently I have been sitting at higher revs before changing (eg in 30 mph zones in 2nd etc) and this has delivered 4 mpg increase in fuel efficiency (measured over two tank fills)

Reads like I am a slave to the mpg

I get between 48-52 mpg on my 650, depending how i ride it.

Out of interest I have been checking my '08 TA 700 fuel over last 1000 miles. Motorways A roads B roads the lot. I have been returning a average of 60.6 miles/ gallon. fat-mal

I am noticing that we still check the Economy in terms of M.P.G.
It should be easier to work it out as M.P.L. As we buy fuel in litres and do x amount of miles for every one we fill up with.
