Thank you BRP for.....

[Lamonster]

...building a Spyder I can go more than 200 miles on before looking for fuel. :doorag::yes::bowdown:

 

[SpyderAnn01]

Wow that's great.

 

[Bob Denman]

:clap: Ain't it fun? I'm currently averaging 198.989 miles between fill-ups.
And I'm hoping to improve that to 200!:thumbup:

I'm now getting comfortable with what I can get out of a tank of gas when I'm not whacking the loud handle. Yesterday I refilled 5.67 gal. on a trip of 225 miles that gave me 39.7 mpg. I would really like to refill about 6.25 gal at that rate since it would give me close to 250 miles but that would be with no interstate riding that I must use sometimes just to get from point a to point b.

I'm at 39 fill-ups and am averaging 39.6 with my RT... I would expect that, due to the extra weight.

Mileage

...building a Spyder I can go more than 200 miles on before looking for fuel. :doorag::yes::bowdown:

Yeah, on the mileage. However, the increased mileage without an improved seat would be a mixed blessing. Now I like my trike, but the limited has been compared to Cadillac and that may be true after you upgrade the seat,sway bar and shocks. That puts you close to the entry level Cadillac and of course you are ignored at the gas station with your caddy.
Ok, thanks for listening.

Pretty sweet compared to the old days when we were all shopping for gas shortly over 100 miles....

 

[ARtraveler]

I also like the extended range on the 1330 engine. I can also get 225 if I want to. When riding with akspyderlady, we generally have to break for gas at 150 just to be safe (have gone 185), so its usually during the week when I am going for those 200 + mile gas fills.

Its all good. :yes:

 

[Sarge707]

In the first 500 Miles I seem to be getting about 40 MPG on the F3- Which is a Lot better than the 998 RT which was right around 30. The More I ride it the More I love it!:yes:

I'll share my ignorance and throw this out to Lamonster or anyone else that wants to answer. I'm assuming that the fuel pump is in the tank and some fuel pumps rely on the fuel in the tank for cooling. Is there any issue with consistently running the tank vey low?

So how much do you weigh? :joke:

 

[Bob Denman]

By the time I've thrown enough clothes and riding gear on so as to NOT scare the neighbors... :shocked:

...Almost 220! pps:

 

[PrairieSpyder]

Way to go!! :clap:

 

[Chupaca]

Nice !!

I have done better, on occasion, on the 998 twin. Problem there is those numbers are seldom reached but I'm happy with my 33 mpg 186 per tank. But you can gloat all you want cause those are great numbers...:2thumbs:

 

[Bob Denman]

In all fairness; you DO have much better weather than most of us! :2thumbs:

 

[CanAmChris]

I will never approach that kind of MPG. I am to busy counting "One Mississippi, Two Mississippi..." when the light turns green.

Max speed limit here is 50mph. I doubt very seriously I'll get that kind of mileage here either. Especially if I keep going up to Waimea Canyon and back.

You really need to turn off the computer and ride more.

I would go crazy with a 50 mph maximum limit.

:shocked: But I'm stuck here in the office, and it's running anyway... :dontknow:
