#372611 mkayx (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1125 Re:mpg up and down 1 Year ago   first off welcome. now what year is your bike so we know if you have the 1600 of the 1700. yamaha say that the 1700 gets 38mpg so you are fine. some things to keep in mind the more city type riding,the harder riding, and riding 2 up will lower the mpg.also the more power mods and accessories you do/add the lower you mpg goes (i went from 48mpg to 33mpg)even tire pessure can effect mpg   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #372614 Jona (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4016 Re:mpg up and down 1 Year ago   many differences can affect your mileage including improper tire inflation, my 1700, "04" averages 44mpg on the highway, and i'm not kind to it   Logged     Ride till ya get there, and, drink till she\'s cute   The administrator has disabled public write access. #372618 Milateket (User) North Of The Boarder Platinum Boarder Posts: 1844 Re:mpg up and down 1 Year ago     Logged     Loren North Of The Boarder Cape Breton   The administrator has disabled public write access. #372696 OK, just JB..

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1026 Re:mpg up and down 1 Year ago   From UT! My 2000 gets roughly around 38-42 MPG.

Next,if you're getting close to 40mpg,that ain't too bad (IMHO). My '00 gets 33-35mpg(of course, I had it jetted way too fat), and I was ok w/that. I've recently jetted back to a 172.5 & changed to a Maxair slide needle. Haven't road tested yet. Most of all, enjoy the ride !!   Logged     ...I love the smell of smoked pork on a warm summer night!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #372949 *4life (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 287 Re:mpg up and down 1 Year ago   Sry guys, it is a 02 ,30000 miles, 1600 40mm carbs, thanks guys guess ill take the advice and just ride   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #373001 CoyoteManNo1 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1393 Re:mpg up and down 1 Year ago   From Antigo, Wisconsin.

(07 Silverado) If you get above 38 mpg, you're about right. Something else to consider... recently I saw the results of a study on the 'accuracy' of gas pumps. They weren't all that accurate, and most had a significant amount of error. I wonder how in my state they get that little decal that they've been certified by some state auditor...
