What Are you all averaging mpg wise?? My first full tank went 40 miles. I filled it up.....now with the quad sitting exactly at 60 miles. I've got a half a tank left.......I'm not expecting much from a vtwin but is 40 miles a tank right

Before big carbs and with a dynatek 80-100 miles. Another brute in same group was getting 60-70. He always ran the heavy bighorns. Carry some gas and drive it until your out. Would not be surprised if you get 80 on a tank with stock tires. Once my single bar starts flashing, I always went another 25 miles or so.

My 2008 650I had such terrible fuel milage I thought I had a leak. I went through a few tanks in a day of Riding at the Badlands offroad park. After my first 10 hr service It was like night and day. I still dont know what I get but I get a few rides out of a tank.

17 MPG was my best but seem to get about 14 MPG very often but have seen 10 also, The best is when crusing at 45 - 50mph for long stretches with less rodding, when you pull the wick a lot she will drink.

Depends on your riding style and terrain. If you're crawling and climbing a lot, you're gonna burn a lot of fuel travelling very little distance. Mudding........even more. Pulling a trailer.......better bring some fuel with ya! That being said, my EFI Brute is WAAAYYYYY easier on fuel than my carbed one was.
