Anyone know what kind of gas mileage a 250R gets? Just in case we have to start riding these things instead of driving cars. News is reporting gas shortages coming.

Catch me if you can
Thats kind of a broad question...wholy dependant on engine RPM. I've burned as much as a full tank in 20 minutes, and as little as a full tank in 6 hours of nonstop riding.

It took me less than an hour to burn 10L (about 2 1/2 gallons) of gas in my tri-z, buts its running like crap right now, I need some leaner jets!

Wish I had desert to ride in LOL What gear did you run in and do you know the carb jetting?Originally Posted by dovesprings250R
Thats a 2.6 gallon tank over 45 + miles is about 17 + mpg. Depends on how much roosting is in between...

Nope, look at his post again... 45 miles "round trip". I'd say that mine gets about 20 miles/gal but I've got a BIG OLD carb on (38mm Mikuni with 310 main, not sure on the rest), and I'm usually ride'n up and down the dunes @ a fast pace. My car definately gets more MPG (ave. 30mpg city right now)... oh well...
If ya kept off the power-band it may sip up around 30mpg, heck stock setup probably 40mpg, but that's no fun.

I'm gonna put my auto radials on my EX and 36 tooth sprocket and start riding it to work. I can get there on 6.6 miles on county roads and back roads. I've put 76 miles on my EX before with plenty of gas left in the 2.6 gallon tank. Gonna put a clean K&N on it too, to make sure I get the most mileage out of it. I should be able to make maybe bout 6 trips to work hopefully. We'll see.

here's a couple pics from my camara phone of it in 'road' trim, the color in the pics is terrible, way too red, but you get the idea. The tires are Kumho 145R/10's, like $24 a piece if I remember right. Had em for a couple years. I have flush mounted valve stems on these wheels, and can flip them around for extra width. The quad needs a bath, too.
