It needed a good carb tuning thats all. Still ran top notch.

Weird thing about Buells is that the harder you beat on them the better the mileage is.

I did a run last year where we ran 170 miles hard (Skyway, Deals, other roads) banging off the rev limiter most of the way. Got 180+ miles before the reserve light even came on.

Regularly get 50mpg and I got the "race kit".

My bike usually averages about 40 mpg; if I really baby it ( but who wants to do that LOL ) I can squeak out alittle more but most of the time 40 is my limit and sometimes alittle less because I ride hard.

I get somewhere in the Hihg 30's to the Low 40s on the ZX6 Depending on How hard I ride it...Not bad Considering my Car gets 24.

33.24mpg for my last tank on my bike... Kinda surprised that I got 17.09 out of the last tank on my truck. Mostly commuting for both, barely any highway.
