calling all griso owners, educate me

what mileage do you/would you get running 90-100mph all day on the superslab?

what rpm would you be at in top??

particularly interested in the 8 valvers...

thanks in advance as ever....

[rocker59]

4500-5000 rpm

35 mpg.


(YMMV)

4.1k is 70mph in 6th gear and I will get 36-38mpg in that range with the stock map (rollered '11 8V).  At 5k you are north of 90mph but I couldn't tell you what the mpg because I haven't stayed up there for a whole tank.  The bike is a naked hooligan and not really a highway burner...

I have a 2013 with a GT-Rx exhaust & fuel mods. 

A few weeks ago on a 300 mile day hitting trip digits I was getting 35 to 40 running mid grade fuel.

A lot of it was varied riding mostly back country farm roads with a good amount of curves & straights but also a lot of slow riding thru small populated areas.

I do pencil & paper when checking gas mileage because most on board computers are sweet by about 5 mpg.

5000-5500 RPM. 28-31 mpg. You're in the guzzle zone.

perfect. thanks guys.

(sounds like about what I get on my Calvin...)

Exactly.  Cruise is 4 and the fun starts at 5.  The only thing I don't like about the bike is the rev limiter hits hard at 8k...

Raise it. Mark has his at 9, mine's at 8.5 but I rarely take it over eight.

I want to know where you can go 90-100 mph all day!  Last time I did that was Nuremberg to Rome in the 70's... on a water buffalo, with Evelyn Katraba on the back, and frankly, I didn't give a damn about the gas mileage! I miss the 70's....

Mine goes to 9K.

Wait a minute.  You're wanting to drive 90-100 on the slab but you're concerned about gas mileage?  I mean, a modern CB500 will top out at 110 but net you around 50mpg if that's what you're after.

Texas, for one...

Keep on Guzzling (chooglin)........

Mine goes to 9K. 

Still way short of the big in-line fours. 

[Mooney78865]

Yep , and the local joke is that 85 MPH is the minimum speed  Problem is , ya gotta ride to Texas 
Damn.... California ain't feeling it........ :Beating_A_Dead_Hors e_by_liviu
