Moderator Cynic Posted July 31, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2012 Sounds about right as far as i can recall. I think 100mpg is the reserve of 50cc scoots and 4 strokes unless you weigh less than Kate Moss and ride like mother superior. You don't mention your riding style either. I have had everything from sub 30mpg to 50+ from my TDR. Hell when i was younger i got the DT down in the 30's. Happy days....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted August 1, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thats where your fuel is going. No dissrespect but 15stone IS going to hurt the performance of a 10hp bike. Any performance figures from the japaneese work on a 75kilo rider, or 10 stone(ish) in old money. Anothe example, i used to have a 600suzuki, a very good and substantial friend of mine (22 stone i believe) had the 1200. Our bikes had the same performance (i'm around 13 st). The differece if we swapped bikes was shocking. But then he's a rugby prop so you dont say too much. :-) A decoke and service should get a bit but don't expect 100mpg.

Yamahappyuk Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have run an RXS 100 for 30 000 + miles and fuel consumption is around 40 mpg for me , if you ride it like a girl you should get more than this , maybe 55 mpg ? . lovely little bike , super reliable , the only problem i had was riding in winter (snow / ice) the carb would stick fully open after around 15 miles lol , if you pull over for 10 minutes she will go again when the carb had warmed up . lighting is not so good so i fitted a cheap pushbike rear lamp to the grab rail as an additional safety feature ...
