My engine is still in the break-in period. I was getting 55 MPG with the carb mod (clip moved to the bottom of the needle). I have since moved the clip back to the original position (the middle), and I'm getting better MPG--probably 70 MPG, not sure yet. With the clip in the factory/original position, cold start is tough; but, the savings in gas money is worth having to crank a few extra times.

i only get 60mpg (only lol) but I am a fat dude (pleasantly plump??) and also most driving is either at highway speeds (high rpm) or stop and go. i think both prolly affect my mileage in a bad way.

It has been windy here in the Atlanta area lately and I think it has affected my mileage too.

Back to topic. I have seen anything from 55 mpg when the bike was new to 92 on a long steady 55mph trip. Typical stop and go driving I average 75 - 80 mpg. I weight 210 +, main jet 2 sizes over, clip dropped one notch, K & N style cone filter, YZ250F muffler.

Our birds are getting 74 and 83 respectfully....mine being the lower one since i ride more agressively. I weigh in at 230 lbs and lets just say the wife is quit a bit lighter than i am
( want to live to see my next birthday ) 8O . These mpg's are for hiway speeds and trail both only mods are the carb needle clip on the bottom spot for hers and on the next to last spot on mine.

I really need to check the bearings and brakes for dragging.
