Re-jetted fuel consumption 120 miles to a tank

i think my ZXR has been fitted with bigger jets, i get around 120 miles to a full tank, is this good or bad?

probably about typical mate.

i tend to fill up between 100 and 110 miles personally, but only cos I can't work my fuel tap without stopping and taking my gloves off

so I try and avoid running to reserve!

My ZXR got around 80 miles until it was on reserve - funnily enough this didn't seem to change even after the rebore!

My VFR750 gets the same milage. Maybe it's how I ride them?

i used to be able to get 160 when i first started rideing out of my zxr4 what after about 3 months went down to around 100

the 750 drinks it like water prob around 70-80 to a tank (limiter fun

) but i manged to get to brands on one fill up cruseing at around 120 all the way what i was quite happy with! think it was around 110 miles!

That sounds about right to me!

Everyone else seemed to be getting far better mileage than me though...

I should also say that as far as I'm aware that was with standard jets on a '94 L3, and I rode it HARD.
