That's 46 mpg for us metric-challenged Americans. A bit on the low side, but OK (I usually get 55 mpg) Clint, what did you change on the carb? clint lee jin yew wrote:

Clint, I 've just been out for a fang around today and got about the same consumption as you, 350 Km 18.2 litres = 5.2 Lit/100Km //54.32 ImpMPG //45.23 USMPG, mine is an A18 stock standard in the engine dept. Petrol here was A$1.26 litre up to A$1.33 litre. Gavin A18 Broadford Victoria Australia

I just joined this group. I brought a KLR 650 and I am really enjoying it so far. I am going to a Dual Sport ride this weekend and it will be my first off raod ride with this bike, I am really looking foreward to it. I wanted to say that part of why I choose a KLR 650 is the fact that there is so much support and info on the web about this bike, that there is a group like this one with so many menbers. It really makes me think that I choose correctly reading all the info out there about these bikes. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
