ive put about 350 miles on the bike and the best mpg ive got was today. I went 73 mile trip mainly highway 54mpg doing about 60-65 mph? side note I still haven't changed my oil yet not sure if that would help.
has anyone got close to 60 mpg?

US mpg or Imperial? I forget where this forum is based. Either way, my Canadian fz has been getting 5.3ish l/100km. Doesn't seem that impressive but it is ridden purely for fun. No better than my previous fz09, but they say little engines ridden hard get worse fuel mileage.

im talking us mpg. why did you get rid of the 09? also what mpg's were you getting.

Looks like it is 44mpg US. I was getting pretty much the same with the 09. Hardly any highway though, just back road hooning.
Got rid of the 9 because I couldn't get on with the snatchy throttle - it was just irritating me too much. Great bike otherwise.

its that mostly city or highway? and at what speed? so far i'm only getting average 47 mpg

 

[nick]

I noticed im getting better gas mileage as the bike is breaking in. today I went on a 200 mile run got an average of 58.4 mpg.

 

[Kahold Cheung]

second tank putting 87 octane so far gotten 46.5 mpg i changed the oil just because i had extra oil lol now let see how she goes odometer 255 miles

 

[Kahold Cheung]

Have any one here try using 91 octane? does it make a diffence?

 

[nick]

I was told to use 87 octane

 

[Kahold Cheung]

well the manual say 86 or higher doesn't say how high i can go lol

• The lower the octane the better (by a small amount) the gas mileage and power. Higher octane only gives a benefit if the engine is tuned for it.

I have 1000 miles and get around 46 to 48 MPG.

 

[doublethreat]

I'm in the process of doing the break in for my wife's FZ07 and I'm getting about 38MPG.....but then again we've never bought a bike for fuel mileage reasons

Has anyone had this problem? My fuel tank showed empty and flashing, so I went to the gas station and it only took 2 1/2 gallons. It is a 3.5 gallon tank. Any suggestions on how to correct?

 

[nick]

when its flashes its just letting you know your low and its time to fill up, doesn't mean your empty.

 

[Jeff]

I was thinking that might be the case, but I thought that might be more at like a 1/2 gallon and not at 1 gallon. Thanks man.

Now im getting about 52.4 mpg that is highway and city combine mostly city i got 470 miles now and loving the bike more and more lol
