fuel consumption
#16
This post got me interested in my own fuel consumption, my Busa has always used less fuel on trips with friends that have GSX 1400's , GSXR 1000's and a BMW S1000. I use full synthetic 10/40 oil if that makes a difference, not sure. One trip we did at the same speeds, a GSX 1000 a friend had nearly ran out of fuel when I had 3/4 of a tank left which we had to siphon fuel out from. The Busa got nicknamed the mother ship after that.

Used a Navman to get an accurate estimation of kms on this run, did, 218 kms to 9.82 litres of BP 98, mostly freeway work at 100-115km/h in 6th gear, light throttle around town, so theoretically could do just over 440kms to one tank, not bad, Iam about 120kg with a suit / boots.

Mods are Pete's Pitstop flashed my ECU, R77 slipons, stock gears, and a stock aircleaner which he recommended to keep on. Thanks Pete for your advice and help.

Economy less when I ride the Putty Road. 5 - 7 litres /100,

My Landcruiser V8 petrol is a different and a rather depressing story when it comes to fuel economy, 28 litres /100 around town, 18 on the freeway. Pi_freak

I would have guessed the GSX1400 would have you beat for economy, lower revving, same weight etc...

Mines easy to work out just keep filling it up when the fuel gadge says its getting low. have never worried about how far it goes on a tank or what l/per100 im getting its just put petrol in and ride to enjoy.
SPEED ISN,T EVERYTHING BUT IT SURE IS FUN.
