    I was wondering in a fairly fast paced ride, logging roads and ATV trail what kind of mileage would I get out of the stock 2.5 Gallon Tank. My 08 Te 610 uncorked gets about 45-50 pr gallon.

    20-23 MPG typically. Depends a lot on your ride style, conditions, jetting, speed etc. but that is a typical MPG out of those.

    Mine will go at least 3.0 hrs before hitting reserve in tight woods riding. That would be a range of at least 45-50 miles for me, maybe a little more. Which works out to about the same as the MPG listed by Motosportz.

    +1 for what Kelly said. I get between 70 and 75 miles out of my 3 gallon tank. If you are constantly on the pipe it will be less. My elevation starts at 4000' and goes up so I am running leaner jetting which gets me a few more miles ~25 mpg.

    I agree with the comments of the other posters. I can typically get 50-60miles from a tank of fuel in single track.

    Why would you ride a WR250 on logging roads and ATV trails when you have a TE610?

    Not trying to be a smart **s, but the WR is out of its element in those conditions. Tight, nasty and narrow are more the habitat for the 2 stroke.:cheers:

    It's a ride we had planned for the 610 but seeing how Husky's service sucks beyond belief. (my 610 has been in the shop since the 23rd, I set up the 2nd Mandatory Dealer service on the 13th and told them to order a clutch cable, cause mine had started to melt to the header from the Reroute if the rocket scientists of my first Mandatory DEALER service, and the P clamp that should hold it away from the header was never installed at the factory. I have ridden the 610 4 days in Arizona around the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, One weekend in Arkansas (SLAP, ADV rider ride) and one weekend in the UP, about 2000 miles total and it has been sitting there since the 23rd waiting for the Clutch Cable they didn't order til the day they preformed the service. So I am stuck with the 250 or stay home. And since you asked I will continue to vent. I picked the 250 this weekend, and thought what the hell. So I ordered a 3.9 gallon tank and thought will getter done. Well I get the Phone call today telling me that their inventory was off and I will not be getting the Tank tomorrow. So that pisses me off beyond belief so I call the dealer who now informs the Clutch Cable will not be warrantied. So i order the Clutch cable from another dealer who will have it on my door step tomorrow, I go down and P/U my 610 which they say has been serviced, and is just waiting for the Clutch Cable, only to have he Mechanic inform me they didn't do the Valves because they were waiting on the cable. So they had my Bike for 2 weeks and alls the did was a F---ing $85 oil change and said they would be to worried about the Valves. So I will be riding the 610 after all. I have never dealt with such arrogant knuckle heads in my entire life.
