MPG?

(1/1)

kx100pro:
I plan on getting another 500 (i used to have one) that I will use mainly as a street bike, but it will also spend much time off-road. For anyone who has measured, what kind of MPG do you get for more casual street riding or offroad riding?

woodsy:
I get 25 with my 2000 KX5.  I am geared 13/48, ride fairly aggressive tight and open stuff.  Some road/two track included doesnt change the gas mileage much.  When I road ride I have found my biek has a "sweet spot" (I think its just as the powervalve is opening) that I cruise at.  
The larger tank I bought has been a God send!!  
Oh yea, I am stock jetted.
Hope this helps.
Woodsy
