[dsn_klr650] mpg

I do. Excellent tire in the dirt. It and an angel saved my bacon in Moab when I got knocked off the pegs while going through a water crossing at about 40 mph. I was laying flat on the seat as the rear end starting swapping back and forth. Suddenly the rear end grabbed and the bike straightened right out. Good thing too since I was headed for a rock the size of Texas. Not once while riding the White Rim did I feel the bike get squirrelly. As for the street, I rode on it back to L.A., and two up with wife around Zion. Noticed a 10 mpg drop in gas mileage, a little more vibration than the stock tires, and quite a bit noisier. Not much wear though. I like it! Gives it a total dirt bike image. Russel'r DSN_klr650@egroups.com' Subject: [DSN_klr650] Dunlop D606 Hello Riders!

hi nick. my experience was very similar to yours. the first few tankfuls i definitely got lower mileage. after a couple thousand miles, i was up to 260-290 before hitting reserve. of course i drive like a wuss most of the time, and my commute is mostly high gear at 50mph on semi-rural roads, so if you're in stop/go traffic or pegged at 70mph, you may get less. mw
