Very Nice Ride Today In Central California!
Purpletj:
Looks like a very nice ride. One question though, What size fuel tank you running to ride 90 miles?
blueoval:
Purpletj, well, interesting you ask. We made two 45 mile loops today. But I ran out of gas at the first 40 miles and had to borrow some out of my kdx220. Went back to the truck and refueled. I planned on two 45 mile loops with one fuel stop based on last weekends ride.
It is a stock tank and last weekend on a ride I got 50 miles out of the tank - on the same trail, but my buddy rode it part of the way - could have had something to do with it - not sure. I thought it would be the same today, but NOT!!!
OK, I know those things use a lot of gas, but does it seem right to only get 40 miles out of a stock tank? The temperature and altitude change was the same, jetting was different, and riding style was a little bit different but would there be this much difference in fuel consumption. Even going to the Clark 4.0 gallon tank (which I plan to do) I still won't get 70 miles out of it. I need some advice on this. ted

I'm jealous, it's 10' F now with a expected high of 16' F. Just fed the cattle and they don't seem to mind but I'm not going to ride fence today on the bike. Maybe in March. :-(
