640 '04 Adventure Fuel Efficiency
Fellow travelers,
I have a few questions about the KTM 640 Adventure 2004.
I have fitted a custom made lighter exhaust which is very well made and light but I have doubts about its suitability. During my previous trip to Tunisia, my riding partner who has the same bike as me but fitted with a standard KTM aluminium supermoto exhaust could run for 70 km more than I did.
Could it be the exhaust? Mind that I weigh 10 kg more than him but can that make such a difference? Can anyone recommend an exhaust that would be more fuel efficient, if that’s the case?
Regarding the fuel tank. In the beginning I thought it was the same as previous models with a capacity of 28 lt. The manual however states that it is 26 lt. Anyone aware of its actual capacity?
The reason I am asking all this is that we are planning to make rather long crossings in Morocco this October, of about 350 km with out refueling stations in between so fuel capacity is critical. Any other tips about fuel efficiency are more than welcomed.
