TE610 reserve light
« on: February 22, 2012, 06:15:33 pm »
I see there is no reserve, only a warning light which should give an extra 3 L. Is the warning light connected to one of the petcocks ? I have done 202 km and no warning light yet ? Unless the reserve light is stuffed I'm impressed with the consumption so far  :biggrin:

Thats bloody good!

Mine used to come on somewhere around 190!  (After I did the power up)

If you add the JD Tiuner apparently it gets worse!

Well I have the carb and although it's the mother of all performance upgrades for any carbed bike I have seen amazing fuel consumption from them. Runner once got 25km/l on a trip with his XR650. I have not filled up to check but I reckon I will get at least 20km/l.

Filled up today, 9.6L and the speedo said I have done 231 km. The reserve light just came on, pretty happy with 24km/l.

24km/l is excellent, you clearly don't ride like I do. Lucky if I get 18. I just keep pulling the elastic and enjoying the acceleration....that's why the original Karoo backtyre only got 1200km. This thing just spins everywhere! TE610 rulz.

Funny thing is although the FCR is seen as a performance carb I have gotten excellant fuel consumption on it with every single bike I had :

DRZ440 (23 km/l)
KTM525 (22 km/l)
TE610 (24 km/l)
CRF450X (26 km/l)
