As the previous thread with similar title went pair-shaped sometime in 2013 due to trolling, I decided to start a new thread on the topic which has been troubling me recently. Some of the content below I also posted in the AF-XIED thread, but given the question of fuel consumption is more general I thought that it justified a separate post.
For the past month or so I have been monitoring fuel consumption and it is consistently around 44MPG or in metric about 5.4l/100km.
The bike has the podmod and is running an AF-XIED at setting 9. The front sprocket has been changed to a 15t.
My riding consists of mostly 60km/hr commuting. I guess my riding style is fairly 'spirited', generally accelerating pretty hard to get ahead of traffic, etc, but nothing like flat-out all the time.
Compared to the figures I have seen under the previous 'fuel consumption' thread, mine seem to be way over the average - perhaps 20% over average.
However, I note that someone on ADV recently posted an adventure bike comparison article which included a TR. The average fuel consumption that the reviewers recorded for the TR was almost exactly the same as mine.
Naturally, I understand that the AF-XIED will add a predictable margin of fuel. Nor do I mind some increase in fuel consumption. But it does seem excessively high.
Do these consumption figures seem unreasonable given all the factors mentioned above? Does anyone else have similar consumption figures?
