690 (SM/SMC/DUKE/enduro) MPG and range
1 - 20 of 25 Posts
52.8 mpg
I just finished with breakin and let her run in a 5th gear run to redline, 105 indicated, and a run up the mountain mixed with all back road riding on this tank. I am sure it could get better if I was concerned with putting a mileage run together.
If you don't have a 690 yet, get'em before they're gone :thumbup:
Mine SMR runs like a top and handles better than anything I have ever ridden....Thanks KTM!
The other bikes in the garage are going to get lonely ; )

I was on the mountain and my gas light came on. I kinda freaked b/c I didn't want to run out and have to leave her on the side of the road and hike for gas (just kidding, I sure as hell wouldn't do that.) Does anyone know the range left when the gas light first comes on? I topped her off and the light stayed on for a little while, I thought it was broke. It did go out but it seemed to take a really long time.
my low fuel light came on today and it started to count (1,2,3....). I didn't know if it was counting the seconds or miles traveled or ?
I stopped at the gas station at 35. took 2.5gal to fill up. reserve is about .6 gallon. according to the manual it'll reset automatically in 3 minutes if you don't do it.

That is quite possible, from what I know, the KTMs are shipped pretty lean from the factory to meet the emissions standards for the US, so to get more power, add the pipe and increase fuel...

Fast4,
So, are you saying that you went 35 miles after the Fuel Light came on and it started counting the miles?
That's pretty good to get that much out of the reserve....
Wait, I just re-read your post. So, if it took 2.5 Gal to fill it up and the tank is 3.17 Gal...... That means you still had .67 Gal left of fuel after going 35 miles on the Reserve. So, you still could have gone another 33miles assuming you get 50 MPG??????
Is this right or am I missing something or miscalculating????
I barely made it through high-school math, so I know I'm wrong.....lol

On another note, I'll add this.....
I went from a full tank to the fuel light coming on at 141 miles.
I went another 12 miles, then filled it back up. It took 2.57 Gals. to top it off.
So, that equals 59.14 MPG! I love this thing.
I'm sure it will go down a little once I'm done with the break-in period and I'm not so gentle with the throttle....... :thumbup:
