consumption

[FGB]

I've got a '98 carb Bird.
Yoshi S3 complete system
carbs jetted to for S3 system
K&N filter
Dyno Tuned
Question: Fuel consumption - mine or the FI?
What Bike will be the most economic?

 

[Skybluebird]

The (standard) carb Bird apparently gets a few extra mpg over the FI, sorry don't know more than that. FWIW my '99 FI gets 39 mpg.

 

[Judge Dredd]

the best fuel consumption

is the right wrist improper use will drag it down regardless of it being carbed or FI :} high 30's is about the norm

Dear Dr. Savage,
your above post has been brought to the attention of the League for Anti Regional Fish Sexism. ( LARFS for short )
It would be appreciated if refence to the female mamary glands of fish was henceforth terminated.

 

[Doc Savage]

Humblest appologies

I am truely sorry to LARFS and to all mamary bearing creatures, fishes and under water beings and hereby withtract my former statement.
















I don't give a monkies left bollock about consumption just twist the volume control and grin. But if any annaracks are interested, Fi Bird 160 miles till light comes on from full,,,you work it out.

[Red Baron]

38mpg out of my '99 carbed beauty after fitting race cans and dynoing. Got 42mpg with similar riding before. I can make it much much lower than that though!!:}

 

[Wolfie]

80-90mph, cruising down A1, 180 miles, put in 19.86 litres, too pissed to work it out will leave it up to you, got race cans and honda jet kit.

 

[Red Baron]

'Bout 41mpg - not bad. I must just be a lardy git!:}

 

[Murt]

From Preston up to Devils Bridge
(and back of course!)

[Quiney]

Who cares anyway???

Eh Murt

Your calculators needs new batteries - 10 lts is 2.64 gals and that gives 41.6 mpg - but as I said who cares.

Must be that sarsparella affecting your performance!

 

[Murt]

oops!

I thought it was too good to be true.

sorry
( but it was still good)

Murts right!!!

I think Quincey's looked up the litres per US Gallon (US Gall is less than our Imperial Gallon)

Our Imperial Gall is 4.54 litres so 10L is about 2.2 UK galls,

which, as Murt says, is 50 MPG.

Best I've ever managed is 45 MPG but normally 40ish - I'm a bit of a rubber ripper - hell why else buy a Bird !! :} :} :} :}

Oooops...

Like I said who cares!

Still beats the hell out of my old Suzuki GT380. I could get that down to low 20's when pushed hard!

 

[Murt]

UN OOPS!

Trust the yanks to try and mix us up!
Different gallons, I ask you!!!

They will be getting rid of Shillings next.
