well, guess it's partially caused by riding style as well - as remember, used to have <4l/100 km when following a car in smooth/slowish pace.

Bravo! nice wrap up, kudos to you for taking on the job in a place where there is much less technical support.


I wouldn't loose sleep over 5,5L/100km,


According to data of 32 persons (23 + 9), its within normal.

thanks for the reply, and links give a clear picture of what i've heard/remembered randomly.
guess this forum at least somehow compensates me the lack of technical support

Riding in city with hills and a little choke start its approx 0,4, the 0,37 was at 80km trip started with full tank, filled up at 80km and going between 60-80kmh steady not only flat riding. For the link with people having 0,38mpg i recomend looking for leaks or overhaul carb/adjust valves and check comp, never had on any of mine XT 43/3tb/4pt even with hard riding and 2 on bike it was steady 0,5l.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
