I'm getting about 50mpg riding agressively in the mountains.

I'm hoping for 60mpg (freeway cruising). feasible?

 

[mcjasonb]

one of my tanks i had gotten 146 miles(when the light came on), and it took 2.5 gallons to top her back off. that equals out to 58 miles per gallon. seems damn good to me!

about 60mpg - commuting and twisties

 

[mcjasonb]

i wonder how much it will go down with a slip-on and remap. even if it drops 5mpg's i wouldn't care. as long as she runs better and not so lean.

 

[fast4d]

60 mpg confirmed!!

awesome. I'm going on my epic ride.

I rode yesterday, through town on the interestate, then rode hard up to the crest, over 20 miles up and 20 miles down, total ride was 92 miles, put in 1.532 gallons of gas when i got back, just over 60 MPG

I've gotten 65ish just putzing around on the 690 Duke.. almost as good as a scooter and a lot more fun.

 

[Dr G]

filled it up before a 90 mile ride.....avg 30-70mph and able to do 60mpg

 

[TwoRs]

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 ; )

It is quite possible that is will get BETTER mpg when it can breathe after mapping and an exhaust. Certainly it will be equal when it is used in the same manner.

That has been my experience in the past.

 

[fast4d]

I'm still getting 50mpg. I wonder if the akra map is lowering my mpg.

 

[Metallitubby]

regardless, power/fun/ AND mpg seem to be a hit

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.

 

[fast4d]

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.

 

[MsTwingle]

it's counting the miles since your gas light came on, so you know how many miles you have gone on reserve

 

[getghost]

After filling up hold the set button in until the reserve light goes out...I get 175-180 out of 2.78 gal mpg lol I don't even worry...

 

[elkbow]

I'm still getting 50mpg. I wonder if the akra map is lowering my mpg.

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...

 

[mcjasonb]

i went twenty something miles once with the reserve light on. i'm sure it still had another 15 miles or so left in it.

 

[graciejohn]

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:
